<characters>
<characters> = ACDC/ AC/ DC/ ACPEAK
ACDC : AC+DC
(alternating current and direct current)
AC : Alternating current
DC : Direct current
ACPEAK : Alternating current peak
Network A
ACDC/ AC/ DC/ACPEAK (ACPEAK is free current only)
When network B1 or B2 is selected(only ST5540)
ACDC/ AC/ DC/ACPEAK
When network C, D, E, F or G is selected
ACDC/ AC/ DC/ ACPEAK
Function
Command Sets the target current.
Query Returns the target current setting as alphabetic characters.

Error
An execution error occurs in the following cases:
• When the measurement mode is not selected
• When a mode other than "leakage current mode" is set
• In automatic measurement(Command)
• When network B1 or B2 is selected (only ST5540), the measurement current
that can be set will differ depending on the leakage current.
See "Selectable target currents" (p. 65)
• When the measurement method is set to "automatic measurement"(Com-
mand)
• Setting ACPeak when the frequency range is set between 0.1 Hz to 1 MHz
causes an execution error.
Note
Use this command after executing the :MODE command to activate the mea-
surement mode.
