B.38 [SOURce:]CURRent:TRANsient COMMAND
CURR:TRAN
Syntax:
Short Form: [SOUR:]CURR:TRAN <value>,<time>,<period>,<count>
Long Form: [SOURce:]CURRent:TRANsient <value>,<time>,<period>,<count>
Where:
<value> = <NR2> = the maximum current value of the transient (Amperes)
<time> = <NR2> = time (Seconds) from start to end of transient (0.0005 Second minimum)
<count> = <NR1> = number of times transient is to be repeated (default = 1, maximum = 65,000)
<period> (optional) = <NR2> = total time (Seconds) of repeating pulse train (must be at least 0.0005
greater than transient <time>)
Description: Configures a transient current pulse that is initiated by SYST:MODE:TRAN (see PAR. B.100).
See PAR. B.106 for details on using both Transient and Ramp commands at the same time. Figure B-
3 on page B-20 shows transient and ramp timing.
B.39 [SOURce:]CURRent:TRANsient? QUERY
CURR:TRAN?
Syntax:
Short Form: [SOUR:]CURR:TRAN?
Long Form: [SOURce:]CURRent:TRANsient?
Returns: <value>,<time>,<period>,<count> (See PAR. B.38 for definitions.)
Description: Returns the transient current pulse parameters established by CURR:TRAN (see PAR. B.38).
B.40 [SOURce:]MODE COMMAND
MODE
Syntax:
Short Form: [SOUR:]MODE <txt>
Long Form: [SOURce:]MODE <txt>
where: <txt> = CURRent, POWer, VOLTage, RESistance, CONDuctance, SHORT or OFF.
Description: Sets operating mode: When the operating mode is changed, the input is set to off. Send INPut ON to
apply the new mode setting to the load.
B.41 [SOURce:]MODE? QUERY
MODE?
Syntax:
Short Form: [SOUR:]MODE?
Long Form: [SOURce:]MODE?
Returns: <txt> = CURR, POW, VOLT, RES, COND, SHORT or OFF.
Description: Indicates operating mode.
B.42 [SOURce:]POWer[:LEVel][:IMMediate][:AMPlitude] COMMAND
POW
Syntax:
Short Form: [SOUR:]POW[:LEV][:IMM][:AMP] <NR2>
Long Form: [SOURce:]POWer[:LEVel][:IMMediate][:AMPlitude] <NR2>
Where <NR2> = power setpoint
Description: Establishes power setpoint. The power setpoint only affects the load when the load is in Power
mode of operation.
B.43 [SOURce:]POWer[:LEVel][:IMMediate][:AMPlitude]? QUERY
POW?
Syntax:
Short Form: [SOUR:]POW[:LEV][:IMM][:AMP]?
Long Form: [SOURce:]POWer[:LEVel][:IMMediate][:AMPlitude]?
Returns <NR2> = power setpoint
Description: Indicates power setpoint.
B.44 [SOURce:]POWer:PROTection COMMAND
POW:PROT
Syntax:
Short Form: [SOUR:]POW:PROT <NR2>
Long Form: [SOURce:]POWer:PROTection <NR2>
where <NR2> = power protection setpoint
Description: Selects power protection setpoint. This is a user-defined value which, if exceeded during operation,
causes a FAULT condition, forcing the load to disengage.
B.45 [SOURce:]POWer:PROTection? QUERY
POW:PROT?
Syntax:
Short Form: [SOUR:]POW:PROT?
Long Form: [SOURce:]POWer:PROTection?
Returns <NR2> = power protection setpoint
Description: Indicates power protection setpoint.
