B.14 OUTPut[:STATe] QUERY
Syntax:
Short Form: OUTP[:STAT]?
Return Value: <int_value> (0 or 1)
Description: Indicates whether power supply output is enabled or disabled. Returns 0 if output disabled,
returns 1 if output enabled. Related Commands: OUTP.
B.15 OUTPut:MODE COMMAND
Syntax:
Short Form: OUTP:MODE {ACTIVE | RESISTIVE | BATTERY}
Long Form: OUTPut:MODE {ACTIVE | RESISTIVE | BATTERY}
Description: Determines how the unit functions when output is turned off depending on the type of load in
use: active, resistive or battery. See PAR. 3.3.6 for description of ACTIVE, RESISTIVE and BAT-
TERY modes.
B.16 OUTPut:MODE? QUERY
Syntax:
Short Form: OUTP:MODE?
Return Value: ACTIVE | RESISTIVE | BATTERY
Description: Indicates whether power supply is configured for ACTIVE, RESISTIVE or BATTERY type loads.
See PAR. 3.3.6 for description of ACTIVE, RESISTIVE and BATTERY modes. Related Commands:
OUTP:MODE.
B.17 [SOURce:]CURRent[:LEVel][:IMMediate][:AMPlitude] COMMAND
Syntax:
Short Form: [SOUR:]CURR[:LEV][:IMM][:AMP] <exp_value>
Long Form: [SOURce:]CURRent[:LEVel][:IMMediate][:AMPlitude] <exp_value>
<exp_value> = digits with decimal point and Exponent, e.g., 2.71E1 for 27.1
Description: Sets programmed current level at power supply output. This command programs output current to
a specific value; actual output current will depend on load conditions. Any data that exceeds I
causes error message -222 "data out range" to be posted to the error queue (See example, Figure B-
1.)
B.18 [SOURce:]CURRent[:LEVel][:IMMediate][:AMPlitude] QUERY
Syntax:
Short Form: [SOUR:]CURR[:LEV][:IMM][:AMP]? MIN, MAX
Long Form: [SOURce:]CURRent[:LEVel][:IMMediate][:AMPlitude]? MIN, MAX
Return Value:<exp_value> = digits with decimal point and Exponent, e.g., 2.71E1 for 27.1
Description: Returns either the programmed value, maximum value, or minimum value of current. The
CURR? query returns the programmed value of current. Actual output current will depend on load con-
ditions. The CURR?MAX query returns the maximum positive current allowed for a particular model.
CURR? MIN returns minimum negative current allowed for power supply (always negative). Related
Commands: CURR. (See example, Figure B-1.)
B.19 [SOURce:]CURRent[:LEVel]:LIMit[:BOTH] COMMAND
Syntax:
Short Form: [SOUR:]CURR[:LEV]:LIM[:BOTH] <value>
Long Form: [SOURce:]CURRent[:LEVel]:LIMit[:BOTH] <value>
where <value> is between zero and I
Description: Establishes the software limit <value> for output current, i.e., sets the maximum value of output cur-
rent that the unit will be allowed to source and sink. Requires MEM:UPD (PAR. B.12) to save for
power up. See PAR. 3.5.2.2 and Figure 3-16 for special programming considerations. (See Figure B-
4)
B.20 [SOURce:]CURRent[:LEVel]:LIMit[:BOTH]? QUERY
Syntax:
Short Form: [SOUR:]CURR[:LEV]:LIM[:BOTH]?
Long Form: [SOURce:]CURRent[:LEVel]:LIMit[:BOTH]?
Returns <value>, <value>
Description: Identifies the positive software limit, followed by the negative software limit value of output current that
the unit can source or sink.
