Comments ∙ In the keyword, SOURcen, the valid range of n is:

 

 

1 to 8 for

E1418A, E1418A Option 002

 

 

1 to 16 for

E1418A Option 001, E1418A Option 003.

 

Values of n outside these ranges will generate an error.

∙The <value> parameter is a floating point 32-bit number in the range of -0.02 A to +0.02 A.

MIN sets -0.02 Amps. MAX sets +0.02 Amps. DEF sets 0 Amps.

∙This command sets channel n to output the current specified following a valid trigger condition. Following this command, the trigger system must be enabled using an INITiate command. See the TRIGger subsystem discussion on page 54 for additional information.

∙If the module is in a wait-for-trigger state (INIT has been received) when this command is received, an error is generated.

∙The output state of the channel must be enabled and the trigger event satisfied for the current to appear at the output terminals.

∙If the channel is in the voltage mode when this command is received, an error is generated.
