HP E1418A Command Quick Reference

The following table summarizes commands for the HP E1418A.

	Command		Description


APPLyn	:CURRent	<value MIN MAX DEF>	Closes the output relay and outputs a current on the
			specified channel, n.
	:VOLTage	<value MIN MAX DEF>	Closes the output relay and outputs a voltage on the
			specified channel, n.

CALibration	:CONDition?		Queries the module type and calibration status. The query
			returns four 16-bit unsigned integers.
	:CONFigure:RESistance?		Configures the module to perform calibration of the internal
			calibration resistor and returns a 0 or 1 indicating the readiness
			of the module.
	:RESet		Reloads, for module use, the calibration constants stored in
			non-volatile memory.
	:STORe		Loads the non-volatile memory with the calibration constants
			presently in use by the module.
	:TEST?		Performs an internal check of the calibration of each
			channel and returns an integer indicating the channel
			calibration condition.
	:VALue:RESistance <value>		Sets a new internal calibration resistor constant used by the
			module for current output.
CALibrationn	:CONFigure:CURRent?		Configures the channel for current mode calibration and
			returns a 0 or 1 to indicate the channel’s readiness for
			calibration.
	:CONFigure:VOLTage?		Configures the channel for voltage mode calibration and
			returns a 0 or 1 to indicate the channel’s readiness for
			calibration.
	:VALue:CURRent? <value>		Enters a measured calibration value and returns a value
			indicating the current state of the calibration.
	:VALue:VOLTage? <value>		Enters a measured calibration value and returns a value
			indicating the current state of the calibration.

DIAGnostic	:CALibration:OUTPut[:MODE]		Sets the voltage calibration path for the module to either the
		<CALBus CHANnel>	CAL output terminals or each output channel.
	:CALibration:OUTPut[:MODE]?		Queries the voltage calibration path for the module.
	:CONFigure?		Returns six 16-bit words indicating the present settings of
			the module.
	:OUTPut:ALL[:STATe] <OFF ON>		Opens or closes all channel output relays at once.
	:SOURcen:FUNCtion:MODE		Changes the output mode of the channel without disabling
		<CURRent VOLTage>	the channel output.
	:TRIGgered?		Returns a 16-bit word indicating the present trigger status of
			the module.
