Resistance Commands
Resistance commands program the output resistance.
[SOURce:]RESistance[:LEVel][:IMMediate][:AMPLitude] <value>, (@<chanlist>)
[SOURce:]RESistance[:LEVel][:IMMediate][:AMPLitude]? [MIN|MAX,] (@<chanlist>)
[SOURce:]RESistance[:LEVel]:TRIGgered[:AMPLitude] <value>, (@<chanlist>)
[SOURce:]RESistance[:LEVel]:TRIGgered[:AMPLitude]? [MIN|MAX,] (@<chanlist>)
Sets the immediate resistance level and the triggered resistance level. The triggered level is a stored
value that will be programmed when a Step transient is triggered. Units are in ohms.
Parameter Typical Return
- 40 mΩ to +1 Ω|MIN|MAX, *RST 0 (N6781A/85A)
80 mΩ to +8 kΩ|MIN|MAX, *RST 8 kΩ (N679xA)
0 (zero)
Specifies a resistance of 0.5 ohms: RES 0.5, (@1)
Specifies a triggered resistance of 1 ohms: RES:TRIG 0.5, (@1)
l The query returns the programmed resistance in the form +n.nnnnnnE+nn for each channel spe-
cified. Multiple responses are separated by commas.

For models this command has been superceded by the VOLTage:RESistance
<value> command, which should be used in new applications. RESistance <value> is still available
for backward compatibility, but will generate an error if an N6781A/N6785A module is pro-
grammed together with an N679xA load module.
[SOURce:]RESistance:MODE FIXed|STEP|LIST|ARB, (@<chanlist>)
[SOURce:]RESistance:MODE? (@<chanlist>)
Sets the transient mode. This determines what happens to the resistance when the transient system
is initiated and triggered.
FIXed - keeps the resistance at its immediate value.
STEP - steps the resistance to the triggered level when a trigger occurs.
LIST - causes the resistance to follow the list values when a trigger occurs.
ARB - causes the resistance to follow the arbitrary waveform values when a trigger occurs.
Parameter Typical Return
FIXed|STEP|LIST|ARB, *RST FIXed FIX, STEP, LIST, or ARB
Sets the resistance mode to Step: RES:MODE STEP, (@1)
