4- 130 Keysight B2961A/B2962A SCPI Command Reference, Edition 6
Subsystem Commands
SOURce Subsystem
Parameter mode Source mode. ARB|FIXed (default)|SWEep|LIST. Parameter
data type is CPD.
mode=ARB sets the current or voltage arbitrary waveform output.
mode=FIX sets the constant current or voltage output.
mode=SWEep sets the current or voltage sweep output.
mode=LIST sets the user-specified current or voltage list sweep output.
Query response mode <newline>
mode returns ARB, FIX, SWE, or LIST. Response data type is CRD.
Example :VOLT:MODE ARB
:SOUR2:CURR:MODE?
[:SOURce]:<CURRent|VOLTage>:POINts
Sets the number of sweep steps for the current or voltage sweep output.
Syntax [:SOURce[c]]:<CURRent|VOLTage>:POINts points
[:SOURce[c]]:<CURRent|VOLTage>:POINts? [points]
For <CURRent|VOLTage>, specify CURRent for current output or VOLTage fo r
voltage output.
Parameter points Number of sweep steps. value (1 to 100000)|MINimum|
MAXimum|DEFault (default is 1). Parameter data type is
NRf+. Query does not support points=value.
The points value can be expressed by the following formula, using the step value set
by the
[:SOURce]:<CURRent|VOLTage>:STEP command and the span value set by
the [:SOURce]:<CURRent|VOLTage>:<CENTer|SPAN> command.
points = span/step + 1 (where step is not 0)
points=1 sets step=0.
If points is changed, span works as a constant and step is changed. If step is
changed, span works as a constant and points is changed. If span is changed, points
works as a constant and step is changed.
The calculated points value is rounded down to an integer.
