VT1422A Command Reference 313Chapter 7
OUTPut
Parameters

Comments •Select 488E-6 (or MAX) for measuring resistances of less than 8000 Ω. Select

30E-6 (or MIN) for resistances of 8000 Ω and above. <amplitude> may be
specified in µA (ua).
•For resistance temperature measurements ([SENSe:]FUNCtion:TEMPerature)
the Current Source SCP must be set as follows:
• When *CAL? is executed, the current sources are calibrated on the range
selected at that time.
•When Accepted: Not while INITiated
•Related Commands: *CAL?, OUTP:CURR:AMPL?
•*RST Condition: MIN
•Send with VXIplug&play Function: hpe1422_cmd(...)
Usage OUTP:CURR:AMPL 488ua,(@116:123) Set Current Source SCP at channels 16
through 23 to 488 µA
OUTP:CURR:AMPL 30E-6,(@105) Set Current Source SCP at channel 5 to
30 µA

OUTPut:CURRent:AMPLitude?

OUTPut:CURRent:AMPLitude? (@<channel>) returns the range setting of the
Current Source SCP channel specified by channel.
Parameters
Comments •The <channel> parameter must specify a single channel only.
•If <channel> specifies an SCP which is not a Current Source, a +3007, "Invalid
signal conditioning plug-on" error is generated.
