B.38 [SOURCe:]CURRent[:LEVel][:IMMediate][:AMPlitude] COMMAND
CURR
Syntax: Short Form: [SOUR:]CURR[:LEV][:IMM][:AMP]
Long Form: [SOURce:]CURRent[:LEVel][:IMMediate][:AMPlitude]
= digits with decimal point and Exponent, e.g., 2.71E+1 for 27.1
Description: Sets programmed current level at power supply output. This command programs output current to
a specific value; actual output current will depend on load conditions. If the value exceeds the
CURR:LIM[:HIGH] value, error message -222,”Data out of range” is posted in output queue. Related
Commands: *RCL, *SAV, CURR:LIM[:HIGH]. (See example, Figure B-1.)
B.39 [SOURCe:]CURRent[:LEVel][:IMMediate][:AMPlitude]? QUERY
CURR?
Syntax: Short Form: [SOUR:]CURR[:LEV][:IMM][:AMP]? MIN, MAX
Long Form: [SOURce:]CURRent[:LEVel][:IMMediate][:AMPlitude]? MIN, MAX
Return Value: = digits with decimal point and Exponent, e.g., 2.71E+1 for 27.1
Description: Returns either the programmed value, maximum value, or minimum value of current. The
CURR? query returns the programmed value of current. Actual output current will depend on load con-
ditions. The CURR? MAX query returns the maximum current allowed for a particular model. CURR?
Returns programmed current value. CURR? MIN returns minimum current allowed for power supply
(always 0). Related Commands: CURR. (See example, Figure B-1.)
B.40 [SOURce:]CURRent:LIMit[:HIGH] COMMAND
CURR:LIM[:HIGH]
Syntax: Short Form: [SOUR:]CURR:LIM[:HIGH]
Long Form: [SOURce:]CURRent:LIMit[:HIGH]
= digits with decimal point and Exponent, e.g., 2.71E+1 for 27.1
Description: Sets limit for maximum power supply output current. If the value exceeds the current protection
value (set by CURR:PROT, see PAR. B.44), error message -222,”Data out of range” is posted in the
output queue. NOTE: If the current limit is changed, any previously established trigger levels higher
than the new limit must be reprogrammed to be lower than the new limit; otherwise triggers will cause
the output to exceed the new limit. Once the limit is established, the unit will not accept trigger values
higher than the programmed limit. Related Commands: CURR. (See example, Figure B-4. See PAR.
3.3.6.1 and Figure 3-2 for special programming considerations.)
B.41 [SOURce:]CURRent:LIMit[:HIGH]? QUERY
CURR:LIM[:HIGH]?
Syntax: Short Form: [SOUR:]CURR:LIM[:HIGH]? Long Form: [SOURce:]CURRent:LIMit[:HIGH]?
Return Value: = digits with decimal point and Exponent, e.g., 2.71E+1 for 27.1
Description: Returns value representing current limit set by CURR:LIM[:HIGH] command. Related Com-
mands: CURR:LIM[:HIGH], CURR. (See example, Figure B-4.)
B.42 [SOURce:]CURRent:MODE COMMAND
CURR:MODE
Syntax: Short Form: [SOUR:]CURR:MODE (FIX | LIST)
Long Form: [SOURce:]CURRent:MODE (FIXed | LIST)
Description: Allows the user to execute or stop a list. The default mode is FIX: the power supply executes com-
mands normally, and LIST commands can be issued to establish the parameters and sequence of a
list.
When CURR:MODE LIST is issued, a list is executed (See LIST commands and Figure B-3). While
the list is being executed, LIST commands are not accepted and will produce a command error.
Issuing CURR:MODE FIX while the list is running will stop the execution of the list and return power
supply to settings in effect prior to running the list. If the list runs to completion, the settings of the last
step of the list will be in effect.
Related Commands: LIST commands. (See example, Figure B-3.)
