Output Settings and Operation Commands
E364xA User’s and Service Guide 85
To set the step size to the minimum resolution, set the step
size to DEFault. The minimum resolution of the step size is
approximately 0.052 mA (E3646A), 0.014 mA (E3647A),
0.095 mA (E3648A), and 0.027 mA (E3649A), respectively.
The CURR:STEP? DEF returns the minimum resolution of
your instrument. The immediate current level increases or
decreases by the value of the step size. For example, the
output current will increase or decrease 10 mA if the step
size is 0.01. At *RST, the step size is the value of the
minimum resolution.
CURRent:STEP? [DEFault]
Return the value of the step size currently specified. The
returned parameter is a numeric value. DEFault gives the
minimum resolution of the step size in unit of amperes.
CURRent:TRIGgered
{<current>|MINimum|MAXimum}
This command programs the pending triggered current level.
The pending triggered current level is a stored value that is
transferred to the output terminals when a trigger occurs. A
pending triggered level is not affected by subsequent
CURRent commands.
CURRent:TRIGgered? [MINimum|MAXimum]
Query the triggered current level presently programmed. If
no triggered level is programmed, the CURRent level is
returned.
Example
The following program segments show how to use the CURR
UP or CURR DOWN command to increase or decrease the
output current with the CURR:STEP command.
CURR:STEP 0.01 Set the step size to 0.01 A.
CURR UP Increase the output current.
