CR Mode Example
This example selects channel 1, sets the current protection limit to 2 amps, programs the resistance level to 100 ohms, and reads back the computed power. See Appendix A for considerations regarding
10 OUTPUT 705;"CHAN 1;:INPUT OFF"
20 OUTPUT 705; "MODE:RES"
30 OUTPUT 705;"CURR:PROT:LEV 2;DEL 5"
40 OUTPUT 705;"CURR:PROT:STAT ON"
50 OUTPUT 705;"RES:RANG MAX"
60 OUTPUT 705;"RES 100"
70 OUTPUT 705;”INPUT ON"
80 OUTPUT 705;”MEAS:POW?"
90 ENTER 705;A
100 DISP A
110 END
Line 10: Selects channel 1 and turns off the input.
Line 20: Selects the CR mode.
Line 30: Sets the current protection limit to 2 amps with a trip delay of 5 seconds.
Line 40: Enables the current protection feature.
Line 50: Selects the high resistance range.
Line 60: Sets the resistance level to 100 ohms.
Line 70: Turns on the input.
Line 80: Reads the computed input power value and stores it in a buffer inside the Multiple Electronic Load.
Line 90: Reads the computed input power level into variable A in the computer.
Line 100: Displays the computed input power level on the computer's display.
Continuous Transient Operation Example
This example selects channel 2, sets the CC levels and programs the slew, frequency, and duty cycle parameters for continuous transient operation.
10 OUTPUT 705;"CHAN 2;:INPUT OFF"
20 OUTPUT 705;"MODE:CURR"
30 OUTPUT 705;"CURR 1"
40 OUTPUT 705;"CURR:TLEV 2;SLEW MAX"
50 OUTPUT 705;"TRAN:MODE CONT;FREQ 5000;DCYC 40"
60 OUTPUT 705;"TRAN ON;:INPUT ON"
70 END
Line 10: Selects channel 2 and turns the input off
Line 20: Selects the CC mode.
Line 30: Sets the main current level to 1 ampere.
Line 40: Sets the transient current level to 2 amps and the slew rate to maximum.
Line 50: Selects continuous transient operation, sets the transient generator frequency to 5 kHz, and sets the duty cycle to 40%.
Line 60: Turns on the transient generator and the input.
