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.
