Step 6: Turn output off.
When finished, turn the output off by pressing the ON/OFF OUTPUT key. The OUTPUT
indicator light will turn off.
Remote command source-measure procedure
Basic source-measurement procedures can also be performed via remote by sending
appropriate commands in the right sequence. The following paragraphs summarize the
basic commands and give a simple programming example.
Basic source-measure commands
Table 3-5 summarizes basic source-measure commands. See Section 18 for more informa-
tion on using these commands.
NOTE The first command in Table 3-5 (SOURce:FUNCtion:SHAPe DC) applies only
to the Model 2430. It is not valid for Models 2400, 2410, 2420, 2425, and 2440.
