1. STOP
Stop testing, same as STOP on front panel.
2. TEST
Start testing, same as START on front panel.
3. SHOW (?) {c}
Check the testing value, [STATUS] [STEP] [MODE] [SOURCE] [MEASURE]
[TIMER] [CHAN] [SAVE]
The command can connect each parameter with "|". Each parameter can be
abbreviated. Ex: STA=STATUS, STE=STEP
A delay ≥ 150 msec should be used between commands during measurements.
4. STEP (?) {n}
Step number (1 - 15). Set step number first before setting test conditions for that
step.
5. MODE (?) {n | c}
Set test mode by number or memory sign.
If testing mode is changed the test conditions will be cleared to the initial value.
6. SOUR (?) {f}
Set the output voltage of current according to mode selected.
The output voltage for current can be set by SOUR or VOLT or CURR directly.
VOLT or CURR is the recommended method to avoid improper setting
(5 Amp could be interchanged for 5 KV, depending on the MODE selected).
For Ground Continuity the high resistance limit is determined by the current setting.
The maximum high resistance limit is 510mΩ or R = 6.3 V/I (i.e. if the current is 30
Amps the high limit could not exceed 210mΩ.
7. VOLT (?) {f}
Set the output voltage (similar to SOUR). Indicates error 1 if mode is selected for
Ground Continuity.
8. CURR (?) {f}
Set the output current (similar to SOUR). Indicates error 1 if mode is selected for
anything other than Ground Continuity.
