The CC, CR, CV, and CP values can be programmed whether or not the associated mode is active.
If the input is turned on, all of the applicable values will take effect at the input when the associated
mode is selected.
5.6.2 Transient Levels
The transient CC, CV, or CR level must be set to a higher level than the respective low level, or
the transient operation will be disabled.
5.6.3 Programmable Current Protection
When programmable current protection is enabled, and the programmed current limit and time
delay are exceeded, the load` s input will be turned off.
5.7 CC Mode Examples
This example sets the current level to 0.5A, and then reads back the actual current value.
1 "INP OFF" ;Turns off the load` s input
2 "MODE CCL" ;Selects the CCL mode
3 "CURR 0.5" ;Sets current level to 0.5A
4 "INP ON" ;Turns on the load`s input
5 "MEAS:CURR?" ;Measures the actual input current
5.8 CV Mode Examples
This example presets the trigger voltage to 5V, and selects the external trigger source.
l "INP OFF" ;Turns off the load`s input
2 "MODE CV" ;Selects the CV mode
3 "VOLT:TRIG 5” ;Presets the trigger voltage to 5V
4 "TRIG:SOUR EXT" ;Selects the external input as the trigger source
5"INP ON" ;Turns on the load`s input
In this example, when the external trigger signal is received, the input voltage will be set to 5V.
5.9 CR Mode Examples
This example sets the current protection limit to 3A, sets the time delay to 10s, programs the
resistance level to 10Ω, and reads back the computed power.
l. "INP OFF" ;Turns off the load`s input
2. "MODE CRM" ;Selects the CRM mode
3. "CURR:PROT 3" ;Sets the current protection limit to 3A
4. "CURR:PROT:DEL 10" ;Sets the current protection dealy time to 10 seconds
5. "CURR:PROT:STAT ON" ; Activates the current protection
6 "RES 10" ;Sets resistance level to 10Ω
7. "INP ON" ;Turns on the load`s input
8. "MEAS:POW?" ;Measures the input power level
5.10 Continuous Transient Operation Example
This example sets CV transient high/low levels, times for transient rising/falling edge, high/low
level times, and parameters for transient operation.
