:SOURce:VOLTage:SWEep:STEP
Function Sets the step value of the voltage sweep (linear
sweep) or queries the current setting.
Syntax :SOURce:VOLTage:SWEep:STEP
<Voltage>|MINimum|MAXimum
<Voltage> = Sets the step value to the specified
value.
MINimum = Sets the step value to the minimum
value.
MAXimum = Sets the step value to the
maximum value.
:SOURce:VOLTage:SWEep:STEP?
[MINimum|MAXimum]
No parameter = Queries the current value.
MINimum = Queries the minimum value.
MAXimum = Queries the maximum value.
→ <Voltage>
Example :SOUR:VOLT:SWE:STEP 1.25
:SOUR:VOLT:SWE:STEP MIN
:SOUR:VOLT:SWE:STEP?
:SOUR:VOLT:SWE:STEP? MIN
Description This setting is used when the sweep mode is
set to linear (:SOURce:VOLTage:SWEep:
SPACing LINear).
:SOURce:VOLTage:SWEep:POINts
Function Sets the step count of the voltage sweep (log
sweep) or queries the current setting.
Syntax :SOURce:VOLTage:SWEep:POINts
<Integer>|MINimum|MAXimum
<Integer> = Sets the step count to the specified
value.
MINimum = Sets the step count to the minimum
value.
MAXimum = Sets the step count to the
maximum value.
:SOURce:VOLTage:SWEep:POINts?
[MINimum|MAXimum]
No parameter = Queries the current value.
MINimum = Queries the minimum value.
MAXimum = Queries the maximum value.
→ <Integer>
Example :SOUR:VOLT:SWE:POIN 100
:SOUR:VOLT:SWE:POIN MAX
:SOUR:VOLT:SWE:POIN?
:SOUR:VOLT:SWE:POIN? MAX
Description This setting is used when the sweep mode is
set to logarithmic (:SOURce:VOLTage:
SWEep:SPACing LOGarithmic).
:SOURce:VOLTage:ZERO:IMPedance
Function Sets the zero source impedance (high or low)
for generating voltage or queries the current
setting.
Syntax :SOURce:VOLTage:ZERO:IMPedance
HIGH|LOW
HIGH = Sets the impedance to high.
LOW = Sets the impedance to low.
:SOURce:VOLTage:ZERO:IMPedance?
→ HIGH = Currently set to high impedance
LOW = Currently set to low impedance
Example :SOUR:VOLT:ZERO:IMP LOW
:SOUR:VOLT:ZERO:IMP?
:SOURce:VOLTage:ZERO:OFFset
Function Sets the zero source offset value for generating
voltage or queries the current setting.
Syntax :SOURce:VOLTage:ZERO:OFFSet
<Voltage>
<Voltage> = Sets the offset value to the
specified voltage.
:SOURce:VOLTage:ZERO:OFFSet?
→ <Voltage>
Example :SOUR:VOLT:ZERO:OFFS -0.3
:SOUR:VOLT:ZERO:OFFS?
:SOURce:CURRent:RANGe
Function Sets the current source range setting (20 µA,
200 µA, 2 mA, 20 mA, 200 mA, 0.5 A, 1 A, 2 A,
or 3 A) or queries the current setting.
Syntax :SOURce:CURRent:RANGe <Current>|
MINimum|MAXimum|UP|DOWN
<Current> = Sets the smallest range setting that
includes the specified value.
MINimum = Sets the range setting to the
minimum value.
MAXimum = Sets the range setting to the
maximum value.
UP = Increases the range setting by 1.
DOWN = Decreases the range setting by 1.
:SOURce:CURRent:RANGe? [MINimum|
MAXimum]
No parameter = Queries the current value.
MINimum = Queries the minimum value.
MAXimum = Queries the maximum value.
→ <Current>
Example :SOUR:CURR:RANG 200E-6
:SOUR:CURR:RANG MAX
:SOUR:CURR:RANG?
:SOUR:CURR:RANG? MAX
Description If the range setting is changed when auto range
is ON by the SOURce:CURRent:RANGe:AUTO
ON command, auto range is automatically
disabled.
