Initiate Subsystem

This subsystem enables the trigger system. When a trigger is enabled, the triggering action will occur upon receipt of a
<GET>,

*TRG

, or

TRIGg

er command. If a trigger circuit is not enabled, all trigger commands are ignored. The actions of

the two initiate commands are:

If

INIT:CONT

is

OFF

, then

INIT[:IMM

] arms the trigger system for a single trigger.

If

INIT:CONT

is

ON

, then the trigger system is continuously armed and

INIT[:IMM

] is redundant.

Command Syntax

INITiate[:IMMediate]
INITiate:CONTinuous <bool>

Parameters

For

INIT[:IMM]

(None)

For

INIT:CONT 0 or OFF 1 or ON

*RST Value

OFF

Examples

INITIATE: IMMEDIATE

INIT:CONT 1 INITIATE:CONTINUOUS 1

Query Syntax

For

INIT[:IMM]

(None)

For

INIT:CONT INIT:CONT?

Returned Parameters

<NR1> 0 or 1

Measure Subsystem

This query subsystem returns the voltage and current measured at the power supply’s sense

Query Syntax

Suffix

MEAS:CURR

V for

MEAS:VOLT

Examples

MEAS: CURR? MEAS: VOLT?
MEASURE: VOLTAGE: DC? MV

Returned Parameters

<NR3>

Output Subsystem

This subsystem controls the power supply’s voltage and current outputs and the optional Agilent 59510A/59511A Relay
Accessory.

OUTP[:STAT]

Enables or disables the power supply’s output. The exact state of a disabled output is model dependent, but it generally is in
a condition of minimum output voltage and source current. If the power supply is configured with the Agilent
59510A/59511A Relay Accessory, the command will open the relay contacts when the output is disabled and close them
when it is enabled. Use of the second (

NOR

elay) parameter prevents the command from having any effect on the relay; it

remains in its existing state when

OUTP

ut is executed. The query form returns the output state, excluding that of the relay

(see

OUTP:REL?).

Command Syntax
