SCPI Instrument Command List
Value coupling
Range coupling Offset
Description Use this command to program the amplitude current of the OUTPUT
signal. Note that to set the OUTPUT levels in terms of current, you first
have to execute the [:SOURce]:HOLD CURRent command to enable the
[:SOURCE]:CURRENT subsystem.
The available current range is limited by the combination of:
Specified Voltage limits
Actual OUTPUT Impedance setting :OUTPut:IMPedance
Actual Expected Load impedance setting:
:OUTPut:IMPedance:EXTernal
Example To program the amplitude current of the output signal:
Command :CURR[1]:OFFSet
Long [:SOURce]:CURRent[1][:LEVel][:IMMediate]:OFFSet
