AMETEK PLA-PLW - Manual (Page 90)

Parameter: 0 to maximum value; MIN; MAX Units: Amp.
Example: “CURR:PROT:UND 1.5”- sets the undercurrent protection to 1.5 Amps.
CURR:PROT:UND:DEL
This command sets the delay time for under-current protection. When the input currents falls below the undercurrent
protection limit for the programmed delay period, the load input is off and draws no current.
Parameter: 0 to maximum value Units: ms
Example: “CURR:PROT:UND:DEL 500”- sets the undercurrent protection delay to 500 ms.
CURR:TRIG
This command sets the input current level that is to be applied on occurrence of a trigger in the constant current mode. If
the Electronic Load is not in the CC mode when the command is sent, the programmed TRIG level becomes a stored level
that takes effect when the Load changes to CC mode. The rate of input change is in accord with the slew rate in effect.
Parameter: 0 to maximum value; MIN; MAX Units: Amp.
Example: “CURR:TRIG 10” – sets the current trigger level to 10Amps.
CURR:TLEV
This command sets the transient current level in CC mode. When the transient subsystem is on, the Electronic Load will
switch between the main level and transient level at a rate determined by the slew rate in effect. If the programmed
transient current level is below the main current level, the switching will not occur until the main level is below the value
of CURR:TLEV. The IEEE 488.1 command, “ITR” can also be used.
Parameter:
Low Range: 0 to maximum value; MIN; MAX Units: Amp.
High Range: 0 to maximum value; MIN; MAX
Example: “CURR:TLEV 30”- sets the current transient level to 30A.
CURR:DUTY
This command sets pulse duty cycle, as a percentage of the total cycle, of continuous transient mode in CC mode. If the
Electronic Load is operating in another mode, the duty cycle is stored until the Load changes to continuous mode.
Parameter: 2 to 98; MIN; MAX Unit: %
Example: “CURR:DUTY 50” – sets a 50% duty cycle for transient current mode.
CURR:FREQ
This command sets pulse frequency of continuous transient mode in Hz. If the Electronic Load is operating in another
mode, the pulse frequency is stored until the Load changes to continuous mode.
Parameter: 0.25 to 20000; MIN; MAX Unit: Hz
Example: “CURR:FREQ 1000” – sets a 1000Hz frequency for transient current mode.
CURR:SLEW
This command sets the current slew rate for both ranges in CC mode. The programmed slew rate is in effect for all
current changes except INP:ON or OFF. The hardware implementation selects a slew rate that is closet to the
CURR:SLEW value. To determine the actual value, use the query CURR:SLEW?.
Parameter:
Low Range: minimum to maximum value; MIN; MAX Units: Amp/ Ps.
High Range: minimum to maximum value; MIN; MAX
Example: “CURR:SLEW 0.1” - sets the current slew rate to 0.1A/ Ps.
CURR:LIM:MAX
This command sets and queries the maximum input current level that is to be applied immediately in the constant current
mode.
Parameter: 0 to maximum value; MIN; MAX Units: Amp.
Example: “CURR:LIM:MAX 50” – sets maximum current input level to 50Amps
CURR:LIM:MIN
This command sets and queries the minimum input current level that is to be applied immediately in the constant current
mode.
Parameter: 0 to maximum value; MIN; MAX Units: Amp.
Example: “CURR:LIM:MIN 50” – sets minimum current input level to 50Amps
