[SOURce:]CURRent:MODE FIXed|STEP|LIST|ARB
[SOURce:]CURRent:MODE?
Sets the transient mode. This determines what happens to the output current when the transient
system is initiated and triggered.
FIXed keeps the output current at its immediate value.
STEP steps the output to the triggered level when a trigger occurs.
LIST causes the output to follow the list values when a trigger occurs.
ARB causes the output to follow the arbitrary waveform values when a trigger occurs.
Parameter
FIXed|STEP|LIST|ARB, *RST FIXed
Sets the current mode to Step: CURR:MODE STEP
[SOURce:]CURRent:PROTection:DELay[:TIME] <value>|MIN|MAX
[SOURce:]CURRent:PROTection:DELay[:TIME]? [MIN|MAX]
Sets the over-current protection delay. The over-current protection function will not be triggered
during the delay time. After the delay time has expired, the over-current protection function will be
active. This prevents momentary changes in output status from triggering the over-current protection
function. Values up to 255 milliseconds can be programmed, with a resolution of 1 millisecond.
Parameter
0 – 0.255, *RST 0.020 s
Sets the protection delay to 0.2 seconds: CURR:PROT:DEL 0.2
The operation of over-current protection is affected by the setting of the current protection delay
l
start event, which is specified by CURRent:PROTection:DELay:STARt.
[SOURce:]CURRent:PROTection:DELay:STARt SCHange|CCTRans
[SOURce:]CURRent:PROTection:DELay:STARt?
Specifies what starts the over-current protection delay timer.
SCHange starts the over-current delay whenever a command changes the output voltage, current, or
output state.
CCTRans starts the over-current delay timer by any transition of the output into current limit mode.
Parameter
SCHange|CCTRans, *RST SCHange
Selects the CCTRans delay mode: CURR:PROT:DEL:STAR CCTR
