[SOURce:]CURRent:MODE

[SOURce:]CURRent:LIMit:MODE

These commands determine what happens to the output current and current limit during a triggered event.

FIXed	The output current and output current limit is unaffected when a trigger occurs.
STEP	The output current is set by the CURR:TRIG value when a trigger occurs.
	The current limit is set by the CURR:LIM:TRIG value when a trigger occurs.
Command Syntax		[SOURce:]CURRent:MODE <mode>, (@<channel list>)
		[SOURce:]CURRent:LIMit:MODE <mode>, (@<channel list>)
	Parameters	FIXed STEP
	*RST Value	FIXed
	Examples	CURR:MODE FIX,(@1)	CURR:LIM:MODE FIX,(@1)
	Query Syntax	[SOURce:]CURRent:MODE? (@<channel list>)
		[SOURce:]CURRent:LIMit:MODE? (@<channel list>)
Returned Parameters		<CRD>

[SOURce:]DELay

This command sets the delay when [SOUR:]DEL:MODE is set to MANUAL. If an output is changed and a subsequent measurement is requested, the measurement will be delayed to allow the output to settle.

Command Syntax	[SOURce:]DELay[:TIMe] <Nrf+>, (@<channel list>)
Parameters	0 to 1000 (seconds)
*RST Value	0
Examples	DEL .001,(@1)
Query Syntax	[SOURce:]DELay[:TIMe]? (@<channel list>)
Returned Parameters	<NR3>

[SOURce:]DELay:MODE

This command selects the source delay mode.

AUTO The dc source selects an appropriate delay for the present output voltage or current MANual The delay programmed by [SOURce:] will be used as the delay.

Command Syntax	[SOURce:]DELay:MODE <mode>, (@<channel list>)
Parameters	AUTO MANual
*RST Value	AUTO
Examples	DEL:MODE AUTO,(@1)
Query Syntax	[SOURce:]DELay:MODE? (@<channel list>)
Returned Parameters	<CRD>
