Setting the Output Mode
The output mode can be set using commands in the SOURce subsystem.
SOURcen:FUNCtion:MODE VOLTage
SOURcen:FUNCtion:MODE CURRent
The mode can also be set on the terminal module with the P/J jumpers and V/I jumpers (see page 31). If the mode is set to Jumper selectable with the P/J jumper on the terminal module, the mode cannot be changed with the SCPI commands and the output mode is set by the V/I jumper (also on the terminal module, see page 31).
For example, if on the terminal module, channel 1 P/J jumper is set to Jumper Selectable and the V/I jumper is set to current mode, the following command will each generate an error:
SOURce1:FUNCtion:MODE VOLT
The error returned is:
+3012 Channel cannot be programmed to this mode, check jumpers
Appendix C, starting on page 150 contains a full list of the errors that may be generated by the SCPI commands for the HP E1418A.
