INPut/OUTPut ŸInput Programming Functions
This subsystem controls the Electronic Load input.
INP[:STATe]
This command turns the Electronic Load input ON and OFF. When the input is off, the Electronic Load draws minimal
current at its input. The input turns on or off at the maximum rate, not in accord with the presently programmed slew
rate.
Parameter: OFF or 0; ON or 1
Example: “INP 1”- enables the input to the load.
INP:SHOR[:STATe] or SHOR
This command enables/disables electronic short across the Electronic Load input. The actual short condition depends on
the active mode and its active operating range. If a mode or range is changed, the short will be reapplied to the new mode
or range.
Parameter: OFF or 0; ON or 1
Example: “INP:SHOR 0” – disables the short across the input.
INP:REL
Programming OFF closes the relay contacts; programming ON opens them.
Syntax INPut:RELay [STATe]
Parameters 0 | 1; CLOSE | OPEN; OFF | ON
MEASure ŸMeasurement Query
This subsystem queries and returns the current, voltage, and power at the input of the Electronic Load.
MEAS:CURR[:DC]?
Returns the Electronic Load input current value to the buffer.
MEAS:VOLT[:DC]?
Returns the Electronic Load input voltage value to the buffer.
MEAS:DEL
This command is to sets or queries the delay time to obtain read back value for “MEAS:VOLT?” and “MEAS:CURR?” queries.
Parameter:
0 to 100,000 Units: ms.
Example: “MEAS:DEL 600” – sets the delay time to 600 ms.
MODE / MODE? ŸMode Selection Command/Query
This subsystem selects and queries the operating mode of the Electronic Load
MODE CC or MODE:CURR
This command sets Electronic Load to constant current mode.
MODE CR or MODE:RES
This command sets Electronic Load to constant resistance mode.
MODE CV or MODE:VOLT
This command sets Electronic Load to constant voltage mode.
MODE CP or MODE:POW
This command sets Electronic Load to constant power mode.
MODe:RANGe
This command sets the range after the mode is set.
Parameters: 0 – 3
i. low range
ii. middle range
iii. high range
iv. ultra range
