CURRent? [MINimum | MAXimum]
This query returns the presently programmed current level of the power
supply.
CURR? MAX
and
CURR? MIN
return the highest and lowest
programmable current levels for the selected range.
CURRent:STEP {<numeric value>|DEFault}
This command sets the step size for current programming with the
CURRent
UP
and
CURRent DOWN
commands. See the example in the previous page.
To set the step size to the minimum resolution, set the step size to ‘‘DEFault’’.
The minimum resolution of the step size is approximately 0.12 mA. The
CURR:STEP? DEF
returns the minimum resolution of your instrument. The
immediate current level increases or decreases by the value of the step size.
For example, the output current will increase or decrease 10 mA if the step
size is 0.01.
This command is useful when you program the power supply to the allowed
minimum resolution. At
*RST
, the step size is the value of the minimum
resolution.
CURRent:STEP? {DEFault}
This query returns the value of the step size currently specified. The returned
parameter is a numeric value. ‘‘DEFault’’ gives the minimum resolution of the
step size in unit of amps.
CURRent:TRIGgered {<current>| MINimum | MAXimum}
This command programs the pending triggered current level. The pending
triggered current level is a stored value that is transferred to the output
terminals when a trigger occurs. A pending triggered level is not affected by
subsequent
CURRent
commands.
CURRent:TRIGgered? [MINimum | MAXimum]
This query returns the triggered current level presently programmed. If no
triggered level is programmed, the
CURRent
level is returned.
CURR:TRIG?
MAX
and
CURR:TRIG? MIN
return the highest and lowest programmable
triggered current levels.
