CUR_POST
Overlapped CoupledIEEE-488 RS-232 Sequential
xx xx x
(Current Post command) Selects the binding posts for current output. This also applies to
power outputs. The current post setting is retained until the power is turned off or the
R button is pressed.
Parameters: AUX (selects the AUX terminals)
A20 (selects the 20A terminals)
Example: CUR_POST AUX
Selects the Calibrator front panel AUX terminals for the output current.
CUR_POST?
Overlapped CoupledIEEE-488 RS-232 Sequential
xx xx x
(Current Post query) Returns the active front panel binding post terminals used for
current output: AUX or 20A.
Responses: AUX (AUX terminals are selected)
A20 (20A terminals are selected)
Example: CUR_POST? returns AUX
Returns AUX when the AUX terminals are selected for output current.
