Command

Description

SCPI

:DEFine ,
RAMPTOC, , amps>,, ,

Programs the

RAMPTOC

sequence command into the

selected sequence at . The following values
are programmed: the starting and ending current ramp
values and , voltage ,
over voltage protection ,and current ramping
duration in seconds. may have a decimal
value with a granularity of 0.001 seconds. This
command is valid for steps 1 thru 20.

C

:DEFine ,
POWERSETTINGS, ,
, , ,

Programs the constant power

POWERSETTINGS

sequence command into the selected sequence at
. The following values define the power setting:
constant power limit ,voltage limit,current
limit,over voltage protection , and time
duration in seconds. may have a decimal
value with a granularity of 0.001 seconds. This
command is valid for steps 1 thru 20. If a

VIMODE

, or a

RAMPTOV

, or a

RAMPTOC

command follows the

POWERSETTINGS

command, then when the

POWERSETTINGS

command has completed execution,

the subsequent command will take control and the
constant power mode regulation shall cease. However,
if the

POWERSETTINGS

command is immediately

followed by a

PAUSE

command, then as long as the

PAUSE

is in effect the constant power mode regulation

will continue.

C

:DEFine ,
REPEAT

Programs the

REPEAT

sequence command into the

selected sequence at . This sequence
command causes sequence execution to jump back to
the starting location where sequence execution began,
resume execution from there, and continue repeating
endlessly. To stop, issue the STOP command. This
command is valid for steps 1 thru 20. (To program a
finite number of steps to repeat, see the LOOP
command).

C

:DEFine ,
SUBCALL, “name”

Programs the

SUBCALL

sequence command into the

selected sequence at . The

SUBCALL

sequence command causes sequence execution to
jump to the beginning of a sub-sequence named
“name”. If the sub-sequence has a

RETURN

command

at its end, then when the

RETURN

command is

encountered, execution will resume at the step
immediately following the

SUBCALL

. This command is

valid for steps 1 thru 20.

C

:DEFine ,
RETURN

Programs the

RETURN

sequence command into the

selected sequence at . The

RETURN

sequence

command, if it occurs in a sequence that was called
with a

SUBCALL

command, causes execution to resume

at the step immediately following the

SUBCALL

. If the

RETURN

command occurs in a sequence executed as

the primary sequence (i.e., not a sub-sequence), then
the

RETURN

shall be interpreted as though it were a

STOP

command. The

RETURN

command is valid for

steps 1 thru 21.
