Pgu_Current_Limit; Pgu_Delay - Keithley S530 Manual

Section 3: LPTLib command reference

pgu_current_limit

This command sets the maximum amount of current that the pulse generator unit (PGU) channel can supply
because of the pulse amplitude and load impedance.
Usage
istat = int pgu_current_limit(int instr_id, double limit);
intstr_id
limit
Details
This command returns a 0 if executed without error; a negative number indicates an error.
Example
pgu_current_limit(PGU2, 1e-3)
Sets the current limit of PGU2 to 1 mA.

pgu_load (on page 3-51)

pgu_delay

This command sets the amount of time to wait after a trigger signal or command is received before outputting a
pulse (trigger delay time).
Usage
istat = int pgu_delay(int instr_id, double delay_time);
instr_id
delay_time
Details
This command returns a 0 if executed without error; a negative number indicates an error.
Example
istat = pgu_delay(PGU1A,0.0);
...
istat = pgu_delay(PGU1B,10e-06);
istat = pgu_trig();
