3 Using the Source/Load Functions
Advanced Source Settings
Advanced properties are configured in the Advanced Source Settings window. Press the Settings key
to access the Source Settings window. Navigate to and select the Advanced button.
Voltage Slew - The voltage slew rate determines the rate at which the voltage changes to a new
setting. To program a voltage slew rate, enter the rate (V/s) in the Voltage Slew field. Check Maximum
to program the fastest rate. Note that the maximum slew rate is limited by the analog performance of
the output circuit. The minimum slew rate is model-dependent and is a function of the full-scale
voltage range.
Sense - The default sense setting is Local, where the sense terminals are connected directly to the
output terminals. If you are using remote voltage sensing as explained under
4-Wire
Sense, you must
disconnect the sense terminals from the output terminals. Use the navigation keys and select the
Sense dropdown list. Selecting the 4-Wire item disconnects the sense terminals from the output
terminals. This lets you use remote voltage sensing.
From the remote interface:
To set the voltage slew rate to 5 Volt/second:
VOLT:SLEW 5,(@1)
To set the fastest voltage slew rate:
VOLT:SLEW INF,(@1)
To query the minimum voltage slew rate:
VOLT:SLEW? MIN,(@1)
To set the front panel sense terminals of output 1 to local sensing, and output 2 to remote sensing:
VOLT:SENS:SOUR INT,(@1)
VOLT:SENS:SOUR EXT,(@2)
To query the setting of the front panel sense terminals (INT=local sensing; EXT=remote sensing):
VOLT:SENS:SOUR? (@1)
