CURRent:STEP {<numeric value>|DEFault}
Set the step size for current programming with the CURRent
UP and CURRent DOWN commands. See the example as
shown in
“Example” on page 86.
To set the step size to the minimum resolution, set the step
size to DEFault. The minimum resolution of the step size is
approximately 0.12 mA. 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.
This command is useful when you program the power supply
to the allowed minimum resolution. At *RST, the step size is
the value of the minimum resolution.
CURRent:STEP? [DEFault]
This query returns 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 amps.
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.
CURR:STEP 0.02 Set the step size to 0.02 A.
CURR DOWN Decrease the output current.
