Source Commands

Source commands program the voltage, current, triggered, and protection functions.

[SOURce:]CURRent[:LEVel][:IMMediate][:AMPLitude] <value>MINMAX [SOURce:]CURRent[:LEVel][:IMMediate][:AMPLitude]? [MINMAX]

[SOURce:]CURRent[:LEVel]:TRIGgered[:AMPLitude] <value>MINMAX [SOURce:]CURRent[:LEVel]:TRIGgered[:AMPLitude]? [MINMAX]

These commands set the immediate and the triggered output current level. The values are programmed in amperes. The immediate level is the output current setting. The triggered level is a stored value that is transferred to the output when a trigger occurs. At *RST, the immediate and triggered current values = 0.

[SOURce:]CURRent:PROTection:STATe ONOFF

[SOURce:]CURRent:PROTection:STATe?

This command enables or disables the over-current protection (OCP) function. The enabled state is On (1); the disabled state is Off (0). If the over-current protection function is enabled and the output goes into constant current operation, the output is disabled and OC is set in the Questionable Condition status register. The *RST value = Off.

An over-current condition can be cleared with the Output Protection

Clear command after the cause of the condition is removed.

[SOURce:]VOLTage[:LEVel][:IMMediate][:AMPLitude] <value>MINMAX [SOURce:]VOLTage[:LEVel][:IMMediate][:AMPLitude]? [MINMAX]

[SOURce:]VOLTage[:LEVel]:TRIGgered[:AMPLitude] <value>MINMAX [SOURce:]VOLTage[:LEVel]:TRIGgered[:AMPLitude]? [MINMAX]

These commands set the immediate and the triggered output voltage level. The values are programmed in volts. The immediate level is the output voltage setting. The triggered level is a stored value that is transferred to the output when a trigger occurs. At *RST, the immediate and triggered voltage values = 0.

The range of values that can be programmed for these commands is coupled with the voltage protection and the voltage limit low settings. The maximum value for the immediate and triggered voltage level is either the value in the following table, or the voltage protection setting divided by 1.05; whichever is lower. The minimum value is either the value in the table, or the low voltage setting divided by 0.95; whichever is higher.

Note that triggered values can be programmed outside these limits, but an error will be generated when the trigger occurs.
