Keithley 2306 - SCPI Programming - Measure V and I, and DVM Input

Basic Power Supply Operation 2-17
SCPI programming — measure V and I, and DVM input
The commands to measure output voltage and current, and the DVM input are summarized
in Table 2-4 (a listing following the table contains specific command notes). The “Programming
examples” at the end of this section d
emonstrates how to use these commands.

SCPI commands — measure V and I, and DVM input
Commands Description Default
SENSe[1]
:FUNCtion <name>
:NPLCycles <n>
:AVERage <NRf>
SENSe[1] subsystem for Channel #1 (battery channel):
Select readback function: “VOLTage”,
“CURRent”, or “DVMeter”.
Set integration rate (in line cycles) for voltage,
current, and DVM measurements: 0.01 to 10.
Specify the average count for voltage, current,
and DVM measurements: 1 to 10.
