Description
This command reads the contents of the accumulated status register, which stores any bit condition entered in the status register since the accumulated status register was last read, regardless of whether the condition still exists.
Data Representation: ZZZZD
This command initializes the dc source to the
Only applies to units with Relay Option 760. This command enables or disables the output without affecting the state of the output relays.
Initial condition: DC 1
This command programs the delay time between the programming of an output change that produces a CV, CC, or an UNREG condition, and the recording of that condition by the status registers. This can be used to prevent false triggering of the OverCurrent Protection feature (OCP).
Initial delay: 0.08s (Normal); 0.008s (Fast).
This command enables or disables the dc source’s front panel display.
Initial condition: DSP 1
This command determines the type of programming error detected by the dc source. A remote programming error sets the ERR bit in the status register, which can be enabled by UNMASK to request service.
This command reads which bits have been set in the fault register. A bit is set in the fault register when the corresponding bit in the status register changes from inactive to active AND the corresponding bit in the mask register has been enabled. The fault register is reset only after it has been read. The decimal equivalent of the total bit weight of all enabled bits is returned.
Data Representation: ZZZZD
This command causes the dc source to report its model number and any options that affect the dc source’s output.
Data Representation: Agilent663XA
This command measures and returns the actual output current. Data Representation: SD.DDDD
This command programs the output current. See Table
Initial condition: see Table
This command enables or disables the dc source’s overcurrent protection. If this function is enabled and the dc source goes into
CCmode, the output of the dc source is disabled. Initial condition: OCP 0
This command enables or disables the dc source’s output. The dc source will be able to implement commands even while the output is disabled. Initial condition: OUT 1
