Keithley 6485 - SCPI Programming

Model 6485 Picoammeter Instruction Manual Limit Tests 8-7
SCPI programming
A) FEED <name>
Name parameters:
• CALCulate1 — Limit tests will be performed on the result of a math calculation
(mX+b, m/x+b, or log).
• SENSe — Limit tests will be performed on the input signal. Note however, that Rel can
be used on the result of a math calculation as well as the input signal. Limit tests will be
performed on the result of the Rel operation (see CALCulate2:NULL). Details on rela-
tive, mX+b, m/X+b, and log are provided in Section 5.
