3-14 Measurements and Sourcing Voltage Model 6487 Reference Manual
SCPI programming — ohms measurements
A) [SENSe[1]][:CURRent[:DC]]:OHMS <b>
Use this command to turn the ohms function on or off. When the ohms function is enabled,
the Model 6487 calculates the reading from the measured current and the voltage source
setting: R = V/I. Additional OHMS commands control the alternate voltage ohms mode as
described in “Alternating voltage ohms mode,” page 3-21.
B) SOURce[1]:VOLTage
These commands select the voltage source range, set the source level and current limit,
and turn the source output on and off. Additional voltage source commands control volt-
age sweeps (see Section 6).
