Agilent Technologies 6035A Currlev, Currprotstat, Curr Prot Stat 0 Current Protection State OFF

Current Subsystem

This subsystem programs the output current of the power supply.

CURR[:LEV]

Sets the immediate current level or the pending triggered current level of the power supply. The immediate level is the current programmed for the output terminals. The pending triggered current level is a stored value that will be transferred to the output when a trigger occurs. If no pending triggered level has been programmed, then the immediate command programs both levels to the same value. Once a trigger level is programmed, it is unaffected by subsequent changes to the immediate level.

Command Syntax	[SOURce]:CURRent[:LEVel] [:IMMediate][:AMPLitude] <NRf+>
	[SOURce][:CURRent[:LEVel]:TRIGgered [:AMPLitude] <NRf+>
Parameters	See "ISET" in Table 3-7 of Section III.
Default Sufflx	A
Examples	CURR 200 MA	CURRENT:LEVEL 200 MA
	CURRENT:LEVEL:IMMEDIATE:AMPLITUDE2.5
	CURR:TRIG 20	CURRENT:LEVEL:TRIGGERED 20
Query Syntax	[SOURce]:CURRent[:LEVel] [:IMMediate][:AMPLitude]?
	[SOURce]:CURRent[:LEVel] [:IMMediate][:AMPLitude]? MAX
	[SOURce]:CURRent[:LEVel] [:IMMediate][:AMPLitude]? MIN

[SOURce]:CURRent[LEVel]:TRIGger [:AMPLitude]?

[SOURce]:CURRent[LEVel]:TRIGger [:AMPLitude]? MAX

[SOURcel:CURRent[:LEVell:TRIGger [:AMPLitude]? MIN

Returned Parameters <NR3> CURR? and CURR:TRIG? return presently programmed current levels. If the TRIG level is not programmed, both returned values are the same.

CURR? MAX and CURR? MIN return the maximum and minimum programmable immediate current levels. CURR:TRIG? MAX and CURR:TRIG? MIN return the maximum and minimum programmable triggered current levels.

CURR:PROT:STAT

Enables or disables the power supply overcurrent protection function (OCP). If the OCP function is enabled and the output current exceeds the programmed immediate level then:

♦the power supply output is disabled

♦the Questionable Condition status register OC bit is set (see "Status Reporting").

An overcurrent condition can be cleared with the OUTP:PROT:CLE command after the condition that caused the OCP trip is removed.
