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.)
B.43 [SOURce:]CURRent:MODE? QUERY
CURR:MODE?
Syntax: Short Form: [SOUR:]CURR[:LEV]:MODE?
Long Form: [SOURce:]CURRent[:LEVel]:MODE?
Return value: FIXED or LIST
Description: Identifies active voltage mode. Returns LIST while list is being executed. Returns FIXED while in
fixed (default) mode of operation. Related Commands: LIST commands. (See example, Figure B-3.)
B.44 [SOURce:]CURRent:PROTection[:LEVel] COMMAND
CURR:PROT
Syntax: Short Form: [SOUR:]CURR:PROT[:LEV]
Long Form: [SOURce:]CURRent:PROTection[:LEVel]
= digits with decimal point and Exponent, e.g., 2.71E+1 for 27.1
Description: Sets overcurrent protection level for power supply. If the value is out of the acceptable overcurrent
range for the power supply model, error message -222,”Data out of range” is posted in the output
queue. If the power supply output exceeds the current protection level programmed, the power supply
circuit breaker is trips. (See example, Figure B-4.)
B.45 [SOURce:]CURRent:PROTection[:LEVel]? QUERY
CURR:PROT?
Syntax: Short Form: [SOUR:]CURR:PROT[:LEV]? {MIN | MAX}
Long Form: [SOURce:]CURRent:PROTection[:LEVel]? {MIN | MAX}
Return Value: = digits with decimal point and Exponent, e.g., 2.71E+1 for 27.1
Description: Returns value representing current protection level. CURR:PROT? returns value set by
CURR:PROT. CURR:PROT? MAX returns maximum current protection value (see Table 1-2). This
value is determined at the factory and cannot be changed by the user. CURR:PROT? MIN returns the
minimum current protection value (always 0). (See example, Figure B-4.)
B.46 [SOURce:]CURRent:[:LEVel]TRIGgered[:AMPlitude] COMMAND
CURR:TRIG
Syntax: Short Form: [SOUR:]CURR[:LEV]:TRIG[:AMP]
Long Form: [SOURce:]CURRent[:LEVel]:TRIGgered[:AMPlitude]
= digits with decimal point and Exponent, e.g., 2.71E+1 for 27.1
Description: Programs current value to be transferred to output by *TRG commands. 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: CURR. (See example, Figure
B-1.)
B.47 [SOURce:]CURRent:[:LEVel]TRIGgered[:AMPlitude] ? QUERY
CURR:TRIG?
Syntax: Short Form: [SOUR:]CURR[:LEV]:TRIG[:AMP]?
Long Form: [SOURce:]CURRent[:LEVel]:TRIGgered[:AMPlitude]?
Return Value: = digits with decimal point and Exponent, e.g., 2.71E+1 for 27.1
Description: Returns the current value established by CURR:TRIG command. (See example, Figure B-1.)
