Setting The Output Mode - HP E1418A User Manual

Setting the Output Mode

52 Programming Examples
The output mode can be set using commands in the
SOURce n :FUNCtion:MODE VOLTage
SOURce n :FUNCtion:MODE CURRent
The mode can also be set on the terminal module with the P/J jumpers and
V/I jumpers (see page 31). If the mode is set to Jumper selectable with the
P/J jumper on the terminal module, the mode cannot be changed with the
SCPI commands and the output mode is set by the V/I jumper (also on the
terminal module, see page 31).
For example, if on the terminal module, channel 1 P/J jumper is set to
Jumper Selectable and the V/I jumper is set to current mode, the following
command will each generate an error:
SOURce1:FUNCtion:MODE VOLT
The error returned is:
+3012 Channel cannot be programmed to this mode, check jumpers
Appendix C, starting on page 153 contains a full list of the errors that may
be generated by the SCPI commands for the HP E1418A.
