Channel Control Using Scpi Commands - Agilent Technologies U2722A User Manual

Channel control using SCPI commands

The following SCPI commands shows a sample procedure of controlling a
single channel.
To source voltage, the following sequence must be followed.
Example 1, Set drive voltage at channel 1
& *CLS; *RST
& SOUR:VOLT:RANG R20V,(@1)
& SOUR:CURR:RANG R10mA,(@1)
& SOUR:CURR:LIM 8mA,(@1)
& SOUR:VOLT 5,(@1)
& OUTP ON,(@1)
& MEAS:VOLT? (@1)

a Set voltage & current range (without any particular priority in
sequence).
b Set CURRENT limit using
<current>, (@1|2|3), where <current> is the value in amperes.
c Drive VOLTAGE using [:SOURce]:VOLTage[:LEVel][:IMMediate]
[:AMPLitude] <voltage>, (@1|2|3), where <voltage> is the
value in volts.
a Set voltage & current range (without any particular priority in

Operation and Features
[:SOURce]:CURRent:LIMit
Resets the source to the default power-on state.
This command can be ignored if this operation is
not required.
Sets voltage range of channel 1 to 20 V.
Sets current range of channel 1 to 10 mA.
Sets current range of channel 1 to 8 mA.
Sets channel 1 to output 5 V.
Turns on output for channel 1.
Queries the voltage for channel 1.
