:SOURce:SLEVel:MAXimum
Function
Sets or queries the main setting (MAX) with
polarity information.
Syntax
:SOURCe:SLEVel:MAXimum {<

MAXimum}
:SOURCe:SLEVel:MAXimum?
<Voltage>: Voltage
<Current>: Current
<Temperature>: Temperature
<Resistance>: Resistance
MINimum: Minimum value in the selectable range
MAXimum: Maximum value in the selectable
range
Example
:SOURCE:SLEVEL:MAXimum -10V
:SOURCE:SLEVEL:MAXimum?
-> -10.0000E+00
Description 1. If you attach a minus sign to the setting, the
polarity is set to negative. If you attach a plus
sign or do not attach any sign, the polarity is
set to positive.
2. To set the value without the sign, use the
:SOURce:LEVel:MAXimum command.
3. For other notes, see items 3 to 6 in the
description of the :SOURce:LEVel[:AUTO]
command.
:SOURce:SLEVel:MINimum
Function
Sets or queries the main setting (MIN) with
polarity information.

MINimum: Minimum value in the selectable range
MAXimum: Maximum value in the selectable
range
Example
:SOURCE:SLEVEL:MINimum 0V
:SOURCE:SLEVEL:MINimum? -> 0.0E+00
Description 1. If you attach a minus sign to the setting, the
polarity is set to negative. If you attach a plus
sign or do not attach any sign, the polarity is
set to positive.
2. To set the value without the sign, use the
:SOURce:LEVel:MINimum command.

command.
:SOURce:TCouple?
Function
Queries all user-defined thermocouple settings.
Syntax
:SOURce:TCouple?
:SOURce:TCouple:DEFine
Function
Sets a user-defined thermocouple.
Syntax
:SOURce:TCouple:DEFine <
String
>
<String>: Definition of the relationship between
the temperature range and thermoelectromotive
force.
For details on string syntax, see appendix 6.
Example
:SOURCE:TCOUPLE:
DEFINE "-100.0,0.0,-100.0,1.0"
Description • You can create a user definition for a single
temperature range. To set multiple temperature
ranges, repeat this command.
• After creating user definitions for the
required temperature ranges, to source the
thermoelectromotive force of the user-defined
thermocouple, execute the commands in the
following table.
:SOURCE:TCOUPLE:WRITE
Writes the user definitions to the 2560A’s
internal memory. The user definitions take
effect.
:SOURCE:FUNCTION TCOUPLE
Sets the source function to TCouple.
:SOURCE:TYPE USER
Sets the type to USER.
:OUTPUT
:STATE
ON
Finally, when you turn the output on, the
2560A sources the thermoelectromotive
force of the user-defined thermocouple.
:SOURce:TCouple:DELete
Function
Deletes user-defined thermocouples.
Syntax
:SOURce:TCouple:DELete
Example
:SOURCE:TCOUPLE:DELETE
Description This command deletes all user definitions created
with the :SOURce:TCouple:DEFine command. To
create a new user definition, delete existing user
definitions with this command.
:SOURce:TCouple:SETTing?
Function
Queries all temperature range settings that are
user-defined for the thermocouple.
Syntax
:SOURce:TCouple:SETTing?
Example
:SOURCE:TCOUPLE:SETTING?
-> "...;100.0,200.0,1.0E+5,-1.0E+3;
..."
Description All the temperature range settings that have been
user-defined are returned in a single character
string with each setting delimited by a semicolon.
For details on string syntax, see appendix 6.
