CURRent Subsystem
[SOURce:]CURRent[:LEVel][:IMMediate][:AMPLitude] <current> | MINimum | MAXimum | UP | DOWN
[SOURce:]CURRent[:LEVel][:IMMediate][:AMPLitude]? [MINimum | MAXimum]
Programs the immediate current level of the instrument's output. See
Programming Ranges
for details.
This command changes the output immediately. The UP and DOWN parameters increase or decrease the immediate
current by the amount specified by CURRent:STEP. A setting that exceeds the maximum or minimum rated current
will cause error -222 (Data out of range).
[SOURce:]CURRent[:LEVel][:IMMediate]:STEP[:INCRement] <current> | DEFault
[SOURce:]CURRent[:LEVel][:IMMediate]:STEP[:INCRement]? [DEFault]
Sets the step size for current programming with the CURRent UP and CURRent DOWN commands. The query
returns a number of the form +#.########E+##.
[SOURce:]CURRent[:LEVel]:TRIGgered[:AMPLitude] <current> | MINimum | MAXimum
[SOURce:]CURRent[:LEVel]:TRIGgered[:AMPLitude]? [MINimum | MAXimum]
Sets the triggered current level in amps. The query returns a number of the form +#.########E+##.
[SOURce:]CURRent:PROTection:CLEar
Clears an overcurrent protection event.
[SOURce:]CURRent:PROTection:DELay[:TIME] <time> | MINimum | MAXimum
[SOURce:]CURRent:PROTection:DELay[:TIME]? [MINimum | MAXimum]
Sets the time (in milliseconds) that the overcurrent protection is temporarily disabled after a current level change.
The query returns a number of the form +#.########E+##.
[SOURce:]CURRent:PROTection:STATe ON|1|OFF|0
[SOURce:]CURRent:PROTection:STATe?
Enables or disables overcurrent protection, which causes the instrument to go into a protected state when the
power supply status is in constant current mode. The query returns 1 (ON) or 0 (OFF).
[SOURce:]CURRent:PROTection:TRIPped?
Indicates whether an overcurrent protection occurred (1) or not (0). This is reset to 0 by CURRent:PROTection:CLEar.
