AMETEK PLA-PLW - Manual (Page 97)

TRAN:TWID
This command sets pulse width of pulse transient mode in millisecond. If the Electronic Load is operating in another
mode, the pulse width is stored until the Load is powered cycle.
Parameter: 0.05 to 10000 Unit: ms
Example: “TRAN:TWID 800” – sets the pulse width to 800 ms.
Query syntax:
“TRAN:TWID?”
Returned parameter: Pulse width value in second.
STEP Ÿ Step Programming Functions
This subsystem programs the stepping functions for stepping mode. The number of loops, step values, and dwell times
are programmed for a specified operating mode.
UTIL:STEP:LOOP
This command sets the number of loops the stepping operation will repeat.
Parameter: 0 to 99
Example: “UTIL:STEP:LOOP 10” - sets the number of loops to 10.
If Parameter is set to 0, the loops will repeat indefinitely.
UTIL:STEP:COUNT
This command sets the number of steps activated
Parameter:
1 to 99
Example: UTIL:STEP:COUNT 5” – sets the number of steps to 5.
STEP:MODE
This command sets the step number for a specified operating mode.
Parameter for Step count: 0 to 99
Parameter for Mode: 0 (CV); 1 (CC); 2 (CR); 3 (CP)
Example: “STEP:MODE 0 1” – sets to step 0 (first step) in the Constant Current (CC) mode
Note: All steps must be set to same mode and same range.
STEP:VALue
This command sets the step value for a specified step.
Parameter
for Step count: 0 to 99
Parameter for Value: 0 to maximum value of operating mode range
Example: “STEP:VAL 0 5” – sets step 0 to 5Amps(CC Mode)
STEP:TIME
This command sets the step (dwell) time for a specified step.
Parameter
for Step count: 0 to 99
Parameter for Time: 10ms to 600,000ms(10min)
Example: “STEP:TIME 0 1000” – sets time to 1000ms for step 0 (first step)
UTILITY Ÿ Utility Functions
This subsystem sets or queries Menu configurations.
UTIL:MEAS:SENSE
This command sets or queries the measurement sense (Local / Remote ).
Parameter: 0 | 1 (0 – Local; 1 – Remote)
Example: UTIL:MEAS:SENS 1 – sets measurement sense to remote sense
