Page 8: How To Use The Front Panel
How to use the front panel Make sure the unit is turned on. From the System key group Local Press Local to activate the front panel keypad if the unit is not already in local mode. (If the Local Lockout command is in effect, cycle power to return the unit to local mode.) From the Function key group Press Voltage to select the voltage function. - Page 9 The following chart shows the commands in the Voltage function menu. Some commands may not appear on all models. Menus are circular, you can return to the starting position by continuously pressing % or &. Display Command Function Voltage VOLT <value> Set immediate rms output voltage &...

Page 10: Some Basic Operations
Some basic operations Make sure the unit is turned on. Use either the front panel keys or the corresponding SCPI commands. The column on the left indicates the front panel keys that program the indicated action. If the SCPI programming syntax is substantially different from the front panel menu command, it is shown inside parentheses ( ). - Page 11 Set the rms current limit (and peak current on Agilent 6811B/6812B/6813B units) Shift When this command is sent, the rms current limit is set to 10 A. If more current than the programmed limit is drawn, the output voltage amplitude is Current reduced to keep the rms current within the specified limit.

Page 12: Measuring The Output
NOTE: On Agilent 6811B, 6812B, and 6813B units, the Input key selects the meter coupling and hence, what the meter will measure. The choices are: AC only, DC only, or AC +... - Page 13 Harmonic measurements Use the harmonic menu to make harmonic measurements of the output current. The following example illustrates the current magnitude measurements returned at harmonics 0 to 5. Note that harmonic 1 is the fundamental. Harmonic 0 is the dc component.

Page 14: Programming Output Transients
Programming output transients Up to now the ac source has been programmed with the transient system in Fixed mode. The following examples briefly describe the transient system's Step, Pulse, and List modes, which require the application of a trigger to implement the transient mode. NOTE: For the examples that follow, press Shift Output, scroll to *RST and press Enter to reset the unit prior to each example. - Page 15 More transient examples The previous examples showed how the transient system can be used to control the output voltage amplitude. The transient system can also control output frequency, phase, waveform shape, voltage and frequency slew rates, offset voltage, and peak current limit. The following examples illustrate how the transient system's Pulse mode can generate frequency, shape, phase, and voltage slew pulses.

Page 16: Programming Trigger Synchronization And Delays
Programming trigger synchronization and delays The previous transient examples were programmed to respond to immediate triggers. However, delayed and phase synchronized triggers can also be programmed as shown in the following examples. No delay; no phase synchronization Voltage When these commands are sent, the voltage amplitude changes immediately VOLT:M STEP upon the receipt of a trigger. - Page 17 Trigger delay; 90 degree phase synchronization Voltage When these commands are sent, the voltage amplitude changes at the next VOLT:M STEP 90 degree phase angle that occurs after the .0167 second delay has expired, VOLT 120 following the receipt of a trigger. VOLT:T 150 Trigger Control TRIG level...
