[:SOURce]:SAFEty:STEP<n>:DC:LIMit:ARC[:LEVel] < numeric value >
This command sets the arc current limit value in amperes (A) for the selected step.
Range: 0 or 0.0010~0.0300 (0=OFF.)
Example: Input command “SAFE:STEP3:DC:LIM:ARC 0.0025”
Description: This command sets the arc current limit in STEP 3 to 2.5mA.
[:SOURce]:SAFEty:STEP<n>:DC: LIMit:ARC[:LEVel]?
This command queries the arc current limit value for the selected step.
Example: Input command “SAFE:STEP3:DC:LIM:ARC?”
Return message “2.500000E-03”
Description: Return message “2.500000E-03” means the arc current limit in STEP
3 is set to 2.5mA.
[:SOURce]:SAFEty:STEP<n>:DC:LIMit:ARC:FILTer < numeric value >
This command sets the arc filter for the selected step.
Range: ARC bandwidth 23 kHz = 2.300000E+04
ARC bandwidth 50 kHz = 5.000000E+04
ARC bandwidth 100 kHz = 1.000000E+05
ARC bandwidth 230 kHz = 2.300000E+05
Example: Input command “SAFE: STEP3: AC: LIM: ARC: FILT 230000”
Description: This command sets the arc filter for STEP 3 to 230000Hz (230kHz).
[:SOURce]:SAFEty:STEP<n>:DC: LIMit:ARC:FILTer?
This command queries the arc filter for the selected step.
Example: Input command “SAFE:STEP3:AC:LIM:ARC:FILT?”
Return message “2.300000E+05”
Description: Return message “2.300000E+05” means the arc filter for STEP 3 is
set to 230000Hz (230kHz).
[:SOURce]:SAFEty:STEP<n>:DC:TIME:DWELl < numeric value >
This command sets the dwell time in seconds (s) for the selected step.
Range: 0 or 0.1~999.0 (0=CONTINUOUS)
Example: Input command “SAFE: STEP3: DC: TIME: DWEL 2.5”
Description: This command sets the dwell time for STEP 3 to 2.5 sec.
[:SOURce]:SAFEty:STEP<n>:DC:TIME:DWELl?
This command queries the dwell time for the selected step.
Example: Input command “SAFE: STEP3: DC: TIME: DWEL?”
Return message “2.500000E+00”
Description: Return message “2.500000E+00” means the dwell time for STEP 3 is
set to 2.5 sec.
[:SOURce]:SAFEty:STEP<n>:DC:TIME:RAMP < numeric value >
This command sets the ramp time step in seconds (s) for the selected.
Range: 0 or 0.1~999.0, 0 is for setting OFF
Example: Input command “SAFE: STEP3: DC: TIME: RAMP 2”
Description: This command sets the ramp time for STEP 3 to 2.0 sec.
[:SOURce]:SAFEty:STEP<n>:DC:TIME:RAMP?
This command queries the ramp time for the selected step.
Example: Input command “SAFE: STEP3: DC: TIME: RAMP?”
Return message “2.000000E+00”
