Source Subsystem
The Source subsystem programs the current, digital, list, step, and
voltage functions.
NOTE
The SOURce:CURRent:RANge, SOURce:VOLTage:RANge, and SOURce:LIST
commands do not apply to all models (Refer to Chapter 1, “Model Differences”).
[SOURce:]CURRent[:LEVel][:IMMediate][:AMPLitude] <value>|MIN|MAX (@<chanlist>)
[SOURce:]CURRent[:LEVel][:IMMediate][:AMPLitude]? [MIN|MAX,] (@<chanlist>)
[SOURce:]CURRent[:LEVel]:TRIGgered[:AMPLitude] <value>|MIN|MAX, (@<chanlist>)
[SOURce:]CURRent[:LEVel]:TRIGgered[:AMPLitude]? [MIN|MAX,]
(@<chanlist>)
These commands set the immediate and the triggered current level of
the output channel. The values are programmed in amperes. The
immediate level is the output current setting. The triggered level is a
stored value that is transferred to the output when a Step transient is
triggered. This command is coupled with [SOURce:]CURRent:RANGe.
The *RST value = MIN.
[SOURce:]CURRent:MODE FIXed|STEP|LIST, (@<chanlist>)
[SOURce:]CURRent:MODE? (@<chanlist>)
These commands determine what happens to the output current
when the transient system is initiated and triggered.
FIXed The output voltage remains at the immediate value.
STEP The output goes to the triggered level when a trigger occurs.
LIST The output follows the programmed step value when a trigger occurs.
This function does not apply to all models (see
Chapter 1, “Model Differences”).
The *RST value = FIXed.
[SOURce:]CURRent:PROTection:STATe ON|OFF, (@<chanlist>)
[SOURce:]CURRent:PROTection:STATe? (@<chanlist>)
This command enables or disables the over-current protection (OCP)
function. The enabled state is On (1); the disabled state is Off (0). If
the over-current protection function is enabled and the output goes
into constant current operation, the output is disabled and the
Questionable Condition status register OCP bit is set.
The current limit setting determines when the output channel goes
into constant current operation. An over-current condition can be
cleared with OUTPut:PROTection:CLEar after the cause of the
condition is removed.
The *RST value = OFF.
