Sense Commands
Sense commands select the measurement ranges, parameters, and window. They also program the
external datalog function.
SENSe:ELOG, SENSe:SWEep, and SENSe:WINDow commands require to
be installed on models N673xA. N674xA, N675xA, and N677xA.
SENSe:CURRent:CCOMpensate 0|OFF|1|ON, (@<chanlist>)
SENSe:CURRent:CCOMpensate? (@<chanlist>)
This command does NOT apply to models N678xA SMU or N679xA loads
. On models N676xA this command only applies in the High
current range.
Enables or disables the capacitive current compensation.
When turned ON, this function corrects the output current measurement for the current that flows into
the output capacitor. This current is only significant when high dv/dt occurs, and because this current
does not flow into the output load, it represents an error when not corrected. Note that turning on the
current measurement compensation increases the peak to peak noise in current measurements.
Parameter Typical Return
0|OFF|1|ON, *RST ON 0or1
Disable sense current compensation: CURR:CCOM OFF, (@1)
SENSe:CURRent[:DC]:RANGe[:UPPer] <value>, (@<chanlist>)
SENSe:CURRent[:DC]:RANGe[:UPPer]? [MIN|MAX,] (@<chanlist>)
Selects a DC current measurement range. The value that you enter must be the highest value that
you expect to measure. Units are in amperes. The instrument selects the range with the best
resolution for the value entered.
Parameter Typical Return
0 to maximum|MIN|MAX <max current>
Selects the 2 A range: SENS:CURR:RANG 2, (@1)
l The query returns the maximum current that can be measured on the range that is presently set.
SENSe:CURRent[:DC]:RANGe:AUTO 0|OFF|1|ON, (@<chanlist>)
SENSe:CURRent[:DC]:RANGe:AUTO? (@<chanlist>)
Enables or disables seamless measurement autoranging.
