Ramp Configuration Commands and Queries
CONFigure:RAMP:RATE:CURRent <
rate (A/s, A/min)
>
Sets the ramp rate in units of amperes/second or amperes/minute, per the
selected ramp rate units.
RAMP:RATE:CURRent?
Returns the ramp rate setting in units of amperes/second or amperes/
minute, per the selected ramp rate units.
CONFigure:RAMP:RATE:FIELD <
rate (kG/s, kG/min, T/s, T/min)
>
Sets the ramp rate in units of kilogauss/second or minute, or Tesla/second
or minute (per the selected field units and ramp units). This command
requires that a coil constant be defined, otherwise an error is generated.
RAMP:RATE:FIELD?
Returns the ramp rate setting in units of kilogauss/second or minute, or
Tesla/second or minute (per the selected field units and ramp units). This
query requires that a coil constant be defined, otherwise an error is
generated.
CONFigure:RAMP:CURRent <
current
>,<
rate (A/s, A/min)
>
Sets both the programmed current in amperes, and the ramp rate in
amperes/second or amperes/minute (per the selected ramp units), with one
command string. Note that both parameters are required.
RAMP:CURRent?
Returns the programmed current in units of amperes and the ramp rate in
units of amperes/second or amperes/minute (per the selected ramp units).
The two return values are separated by a comma. For example:
RAMP:CURRENT?
50.0000,0.1000
CONFigure:RAMP:FIELD
<
field (kG, T)
>,<
rate (kG/s, kG/min, T/s, T/min)
>
Sets both the programmed field in kilogauss or Tesla (per the selected field
units), and the ramp rate in kilogauss/second, kilogauss/minute, Tesla/
second, or Tesla/minute (per the selected field units and ramp units), with
one command string. Note that both parameters are required. This
command requires that a coil constant be defined, otherwise an error is
generated.
RAMP:FIELD?
Returns the programmed field in units of kilogauss or Tesla (per the
selected field units) and the ramp rate in units of kilogauss/second,
kilogauss/minute, Tesla/second, or Tesla/minute (per the selected field
units and ramp units). The two return values are separated by a comma.
