APPLy
The APPLy subsystem enables and outputs a current or voltage on the specified channel.
Subsystem Syntax APPLy n
:CURRent < value | MIN | MAX | DEF>
:VOLTage < value | MIN | MAX | DEF>
APPLy n :CURRent
APPLy n :CURRent < value | MIN | MAX | DEF> outputs a current on the specified
channel, n.

In the keyword, APPLy n, the valid range of n is:
1 to 8 for E1418A, E1418A Option 002
1 to 16 for E1418A Option 001, E1418A Option 003.
Values of n outside these ranges will generate an error.
•
The < value > parameter can range from -0.02 to +0.02 Amps.
MIN sets -0.02 Amps output.
MAX sets +0.02 Amps output.
DEF sets 0 Amps output.
•
This command is affected by the state of the P/J jumper for this channel on the
terminal module. To use the
APPLy n :CURRent command:
– the P/J jumper must be set to program selectable or, if set to jumper selectable,
– the V/I jumper must be set to the current mode.
These jumpers are described on page 31.
•
Equivalent Commands: SOURce n :FUNCtion:MODE CURR ,
SOURce n :CURRent[:LEVel][:IMMediate][:AMPLitude] , OUTPut n [:STATe] ON
•
*RST Condition:
– If the P/J jumper is set to program selectable:
output mode is set to voltage, 0 volts output, output relay open.
– If the P/J jumper is set to jumper selectable:
output mode is set by the V/I jumper, 0 volts or amps, output relay open.
