Chapter 3 Application Instances
This chapter provides the application instances of the SCPI commands. The main functions of the load can
be realized through a series of SCPI commands.
Note:
1. The instances in this chapter take DL3031A as an example. The range of certain parameters for other
models may be different. Therefore, you need to adjust the parameter range for the model that you
use if necessary.
2. Before using the instances in this chapter, refer to "To Build Remote Communication" to set up
remote communication between the electronic load and the PC. In addition, you have to install Ultra
Sigma or other PC software that can be used to send commands.
3. In each instance, every command is followed by contents enclosed by two slashes (“/*” and “*/”).
They are the descriptions of the command and not part of the command, which help you understand
the command better.
LIST Function
Requirement
Functions to be realized:
1. Parameters: mode (CC), range (6 A); circle (2); steps (3); trigger source (MANUal), end state (LAST).
Three groups of list parameters are shown below:
Steps
Input Current Setting Value
Duration Time
Slew Rate
1
1 A
3 s
0.1 A/μs
2
1.2 A
5 s
0.3 A/μs
3
1.8 A
3.5 s
0.2 A/μs
2. Enable trigger input.
Method
(1) *IDN? /*Queries the ID string of the load to test whether the remote
communication works normally.*/
(2) :SOUR:LIST:MODE CC /*Sets the operation mode of the load to be CC mode.*/
(3)
:SOUR:LIST:RANG 6
/*Sets the load's current range in CC mode to be 6 A.*/
(4)
:SOUR:LIST:COUN 2
/*Sets the number of times the list is cycled to be 2.*/
(5)
:SOUR:LIST:STEP 2
/*Sets the total steps to be 3.*/
(6)
:SOUR:LIST:END LAST
/*Sets the end state of the load to be Last.*/
(7)
:SOUR:LIST:LEV 0,1
/*Sets the input current setting at Step 1 to be 1 A.*/
(8)
:SOUR:LIST:WID 0,3
/*Sets the dwell time at Step 1 to be 3 s.*/
(9)
:SOUR:LIST:SLEW 0,0.1
/*Sets the slew rate at Step 1 to be 0.1 A/μs.*/
(10)
:SOUR:LIST:LEV 1,1.2
/*Sets the input current setting at Step 2 to be 1.2 A.*/
(11)
:SOUR:LIST:WID 1,5
/*Sets the dwell time at Step 2 to be 5 s.*/
(12)
:SOUR:LIST:SLEW 1,0.3
/*Sets the slew rate at Step 2 to be 0.3 A/μs.*/
(13)
:SOUR:LIST:LEV 2,1.8
/*Sets the input current setting at Step 3 to be 1.8 A.*/
(14)
:SOUR:LIST:WID 2,3.5
/*Sets the dwell time at Step 3 to be 3.5 s.*/
