SENSe:FUNCtion

This command configures the sensing function for triggered measurements. The dc source has up to three

measurement sensors as described below. The query returns the function setting.

CURRent Senses the current measurement at the main output (output 1)

DVM Senses the voltage measurement at the DVM inputs (Agilent 66311D/66309D

only)

VOLTage Senses the voltage measurement at the main output (output 1)

Command Syntax SENSe:FUNCtion <function>

Parameters "VOLTage" | "CURRent" | "DVM"

Examples SENS:FUNC "VOLT"

Query Syntax SENSe:FUNCtion?

Returned Parameters <SRD>

SENSe:PROTection:STATe

This command enables or disables the open sense lead detection. The default setting for this function is

disabled. To permanently enable open sense lead detection, program this command on, save this state in

location 0 using *SAV 0, and set the output power-on state to recall state 0 (OUTP:PON:STAT RCL 0).

Command Syntax SENSe:PROTection:STATe <bool>

Parameters 0 | OFF | 1 | ON

*RST Value 0

Examples SENS:PROT:STAT ON

Query Syntax SENSe:PROTect:STATe?

Returned Parameters <NR3>

SENSe:SWEep:OFFSet:POINts

This command defines the offset in a data sweep when an acquire trigger is used. Negative values

represent data samples taken prior to the trigger. Positive values represent the delay after the trigger

occurs but before the samples are acquired.

Command Syntax SENSe:SWEep:OFFSet:POINts <NRf+>

Parameters -4095 through 2,000,000,000

*RST Value 0

Examples SENS:SWE:OFFS:POIN -2047

Query Syntax SENSe:SWEep:OFFSet:POINts?
