ML24XXA NATIVE COMMANDS GPIB OPERATION

power

value: power

Remarks: Determines the start power level of power sweep mode.

Query: SRCSTPWR?

Returned

String: SRCSTPWR <power>

START Initial startup self test command GPIB SETUP

Syntax: START

Remarks: This is useful for ATE control. After the system has been given time to start up, this command can be used to find out what state the system is in. If the self test has failed, 'CONT' can be used to get the system running. This is an initial startup self test status command and will return one of the follow- ing:

0 - Passed self test and running.

1 - Startup self test running. –1 - Start up self test FAILED.

In this stage of the startup process, all commands except STERR, START, CONT and GPIB 488.2 event and status commands will produce a GPIB execution error. STERR will return the selftest result string.

’ABCDEFGHIJKLMNNOOPQRRRRSSSSTUVWXYZ12’

where: A = Operating mode: '0' = Digital readout, '1' = Profile mode channel 1, '2' = Profile mode channel 2, '3' = Power vs. Time channel 1, '4'

=Power vs. Time channel 2, ‘5’ = Source sweep chan. 1, ‘6’ = Source sweep chan. 2..

B = Channel 1 input configuration: '0' = OFF, '1' = A, '2' = B, '3' = A–B, '4' =

B–A, '5' = A/B, '6' = B/A, '7' = EXT Volts.

C = Channel 2 input configuration: '0' = OFF, '1' = A, '2' = B, '3' = A–B, '4' =
