Keysight N6700C Series - Current Commands

Current Commands
Current commands program the output current and current protection functions. The SOURce
keyword is optional in the following commands.
[SOURce:]CURRent[:LEVel][:IMMediate][:AMPLitude] <value>, (@<chanlist>)
[SOURce:]CURRent[:LEVel][:IMMediate][:AMPLitude]? [MIN|MAX,] (@<chanlist>)
[SOURce:]CURRent[:LEVel]:TRIGgered[:AMPLitude] <value>, (@<chanlist>)
[SOURce:]CURRent[:LEVel]:TRIGgered[:AMPLitude]? [MIN|MAX,] (@<chanlist>)
Sets the immediate current level and the triggered current level when the output is in constant current
mode. The triggered level is a stored value that will be programmed when a Step transient is
triggered. Units are in amperes. The maximum value depends on the current rating of the unit.
Parameter Typical Return
0 - maximum|MIN|MAX, *RST 0
The maximum value is 102% of the current rating of the module.
<current level>
Sets the output current level to 3 A: CURR 3, (@1)
Sets the triggered current level to 2 A: CURR:TRIG 2, (@1)
l The query returns the programmed current level in the form +n.nnnnnnE+nn for each channel spe-
cified. Multiple responses are separated by commas.
[SOURce:]CURRent:LIMit[:POSitive][:IMMediate][:AMPLitude] <value>, (@<chanlist>)
[SOURce:]CURRent:LIMit[:POSitive][:IMMediate][:AMPLitude]? [MIN|MAX,] (@<chanlist>)
[SOURce:]CURRent:LIMit:NEGative[:IMMediate][:AMPLitude] <value>, (@<chanlist>)
[SOURce:]CURRent:LIMit:NEGative[:IMMediate][:AMPLitude]? [MIN|MAX,] (@<chanlist>)
Sets the current limit when in voltage priority mode. Units are in amperes. The maximum value
depends on the current rating of the unit. The minimum value is the most negative value.
Parameter Typical Return
Positive: 0 to 102% of rating|MIN|MAX, *RST 102%
Negative: -102% of rating to 0|MIN|MAX, *RST -102%
<+ current limit>
<- current limit>
Sets the positive current limit to 2 A: CURR:LIM 2 (@1)
Sets the negative current limit to -2 A: CURR:LIM:NEG -2 (@1)
l MIN is the most negative value of the range. MAX is the least negative value of the range.
l The query returns the programmed current limit in the form +n.nnnnnnE+nn for each channel spe-
cified. Multiple responses are separated by commas.
l The negative current limit of Model N6783A-MFG is not programmable, but is fixed at -2A.
