SOURce:PHASe<x>:CURRent:RANGe? [<cpd>{ LOW | HIGH }]
The default version will return the low and high limits of the presently selected range,
comma separated. Add the appropriate optional parameter to query just one of these values.
SOURce:PHASe<x>:CURRent:RANGe:VOLTage <dpnd>,<dpnd>
This command sets the specified phase’s current channel hardware range to output a voltage
instead of a current. The first parameter is the lower limit that the range must cover. The
second parameter is the upper limit that the range must cover. The instrument determines
the narrowest amplitude range that encompasses the limits.
For reference purposes, note that the following ranges are presently defined:
Range Lower Limit Upper Limit
0.5 V range 0.05 V 0.25 V
1 V range 0.15 V 1.5 V
10 V range 1 V 10 V
SOURce:PHASe<x>:CURRent:RANGe:VOLTage? [<cpd>{ LOW | HIGH }]
The default version will return the low and high limits of the presently selected range,
comma separated. Add the appropriate optional parameter to query just one of these values.
SOURce:PHASe<x>:CURRent:RANGe:UNIT?
This query only command can be used to check whether the voltage out of current ranges
are in use.
The response is:
• CURRent An ordinary current range is active.
• VOLTage A voltage out of current range is active.
SOURce:PHASe<x>:CURRent:AMPLitude?
This query only command is used to find out the specified phase's output amplitude, in
RMS amps (or volts, if this mode is active.
The query command will return the present current value. The returned number will be in
standard scientific format (14.4 A would be returned as 1.44E1).
SOURce:PHASe<x>:CURRent:EQUivalence[:STATe](?) <bool>{OFF|ON|0|1}
