Commands

Example: ALAR:TEMP1:LOW:ENAB 1

The TEMPerature suffix, <chn>, specifies the channel (1 or 2). The <bool> parameter turns the lower temperature alarm on (1 or ON) or off (0 or OFF). This command may be password protected (see Password Commands).

ALARm:TEMPurature<chn>:LOWer:LIMit? [MINMAXDEF]

Returns the lower temperature alarm limit for the specified channel in degrees C or F. Example: ALAR:TEMP1:LOW:LIM?

Response: 18.00

The TEMPerature suffix, <chn>, specifies the channel (1 or 2). The value returned is always in the current temperature units (C or F). Specifying the MIN, MAX, or DEF parameter returns the minimum, maximum, or default value respectively.

ALARm:TEMPurature<chn>:LOWer:LIMit <float>MINMAXDEF

Sets the lower temperature alarm limit for the specified channel in degrees C or F. Example: ALAR:TEMP1:LOW:LIM 20.00

The TEMPerature suffix, <chn>, specifies the channel (1 or 2). The <float> parameter specifies the value for the lower temperature alarm limit. Specifying the MIN, MAX, or DEF parameter sets the lower temperature alarm limit to the minimum, maximum, or default value respectively. The <float> value is always in the current temperature units (C or F). This command may be password protected (see Password Commands).

ALARm:TEMPurature<chn>:RATE?

Indicates whether a temperature rate alarm event has occurred. Example: ALAR:TEMP1:RATE?

Response: 0

The TEMPerature suffix, <chn>, specifies the channel (1 or 2). A value of 1 is returned if a temperature rate alarm event has occurred on the specified channel. A value of 0 is returned if a temperature rate alarm event has not occurred on the specified channel.

ALARm:TEMPurature<chn>:RATE:ENABle?

Returns the state of the temperature rate alarm enable for the specified channel. Example: ALAR:TEMP1:RATE:ENAB?

Response: 0

The TEMPerature suffix, <chn>, specifies the channel (1 or 2). A value of 1 is returned if the temperature rate alarm is enabled. A value of 0 is returned if the temperature rate alarm is disabled.

ALARm:TEMPurature<chn>:RATE:ENABle <bool>

Sets the state of the temperature rate alarm enable for the specified channel. Example: ALAR:TEMP1:RATE:ENAB 1

The TEMPerature suffix, <chn>, specifies the channel (1 or 2). The <bool> parameter turns the temperature rate alarm on (1 or ON) or off (0 or OFF). This command may be password protected (see Password Commands).
