IEEE 488.2 and SCPI Command Operation
// turn on with no load at the output.
*CLS
// clear the unit to its power-on default settings.
*RST
//
reset
the
unit.
//
short
the
output.
SOUR:CURR 5.0
// program output current to 5.0 A.
SOUR:CURR:RAMP 25.0 30.0
// program current to ramp from the present
// value (5.0 A) to 25.0 A in 30 seconds.
EXAMPLE: Program a unit with a load at the output, to ramp its output current from 5 ADC to
25 ADC in 30 seconds upon the trigger command.
// Use SYST:ERR? after each command to verify no programming errors.
// turn on the unit.
*CLS
// clear the unit to its power-on default settings.
*RST
// reset the unit.
SOUR:CURR 5.0
// program output current to 5.0 ADC.
SOUR:CURR:RAMP:TRIG 25.0 30.0
// program current to ramp from the present
// value (5.0 ADC) to 25.0 ADC in 30 secs.
// upon the trigger command.
TRIG:RAMP
// start ramp execution.
TRIG:ABORT
// turn off trigger mode.
EXAMPLE: Program a unit to power-on and initialize 1A. Verify proper power-on initialization.
// Use SYST:ERR? after each command to verify no programming errors.
// turn on the unit.
*CLS
// clear the unit to its power on default settings.
*RST
// reset the unit.
CAL:INIT:CURR 1.0
// set power-on initial current to 1.0 A.
CAL:INIT:CURR?
// confirm power-on initial current setting.
CAL:UNLOCK “6867”
// unlock nonvolatile memory for calibration value storage.
CAL:STORE
// store the calibration values in nonvolatile memory.
CAL:LOCK
// lock nonvolatile memory for calibration value protection.
// cycle power to the unit.
SOUR:CURR?
// confirm power-on initial current setting.
