1594A/1595A Super-Thermometer
Interface Commands
84
Alternate parameter: DEF, MIN, MAX
Sets the stop timer’s Timer Duration setting (see Section 5.7.3.2, TIMING SETTINGS (F2), on page 39).
The value is the number of seconds. The range is 1 to 86399 and the default is 3600 (one hour).
This setting is only meaningful when Stop Timer Enable is ON.
The *RST command sets Timer Duration to 3600.
8.7.3.48 INIT:STOP[:STAT] <boolean>
Query form: INIT:STOP?
Alternate parameter: DEF
Sets the Stop Timer Enable (see Section 5.7.3.2, TIMING SETTINGS (F2), on page 39).
The *RST command sets Stop Timer Enable to the default setting which is OFF.
8.7.3.49 INIT:STOP:TIME?
Example response: 874
Reads the stop timer’s time remaining.
The returned value is the time remaining in seconds. If the stop timer is disabled or measurement is not en-
abled, the returned value is 0.
8.7.3.50 INP<n>:CURR <current>
Example command: INP1:CURR 1
Query form: INP<n>:CURR?
Alternate parameter: DEF, MIN, MAX
Sets a channel’s Sensing Current setting.
Sufx <n> species the channel number: 1 through 4 for the corresponding front channel input, 5 through 14
for channels of the rst attached scanner, and 15 through 24 for channels of the second attached scanner.
The maximum and default values depend on the probe and reference resistor settings. The values may be read
using the query form with alternate parameters MAX and DEF respectively.
The actual current may be reduced if the resistance is too high. The actual current may be read using the
INP<n>:CURR:DATA? command.
8.7.3.51 INP<n>:CURR:DATA?
Reads a channel’s actual sensing current. It is the sensing current that was used when the latest measurement
of the channel was acquired.
8.7.3.52 INP<n>:CURR:STAN <boolean>
Query form: INP<n>:CURR:STAN?
Alternate parameter: DEF
Sets a channel’s Standby Current enable.
A parameter value 1 enables the standby current. When enabled, sensing current is sourced from the channel’s
terminals when measurement is enabled, even if the channel is not enabled or when another channel is being
scanned. The default setting is 0 (OFF).
8.7.3.53 INP:PROB:ADD <id>
Example command: INP:PROB:ADD “PRT_A46002”
Password protection: Probe Protection
