Description: Used to determine which channel selected.
B.9 INSTrument:STATe COMMAND

B.10 MEASure[:SCALar]:CURRent[:DC]? QUERY
MEAS:CURR?
Syntax: Short Form: MEAS[:SCAL]:CURR[:DC]?
Long Form: MEASure[:SCALar]:CURRent[:DC]?
= 0 or 1
Return Value: (digits with decimal point and Exponent)
Description: Measures actual current. This query returns the actual value of output current (measured at the out-
put terminals) as determined by the programmed value of voltage and current and load conditions.
NOTE: The SCPI convention for this command allows the controller to establish the range and accu-
racy of the measurement if nn,nn is added after the question mark; the power supply accepts this for-
mat but sets the command warning bit (13) in the status questionable register and ignores the extra
characters. (See example, Figure B-3.)
Note: Power Supply at address 1 is an MBT 25-14, address 2 is an MST 6-12, and address 4 is a BOP 100-1.
*RST Devices are located on the BITBUS (IEEE 1118) as noted above.
INST:SEL 1;*IDN? Controller returns KEPCO,MBT,123456,V4.2-3.0 (Channel 1 selected;
device connected to BITBUS channel 1 is MBT 25-14, serial # 123456,
firmware version 3.0; TMA 4882-27 firmware version is 4.2).
INST:NSEL 2;*IDN? Controller returns KEPCO,MST,456123,V4.2-2.6 (Channel 2 selected;
device connected to BITBUS channel 2 is MST 6-12, serial # 456123, firm-
ware version 2.6; TMA 4882-27 firmware version is 4.2).
VOLT? MAX Controller returns 6.0E0 indicating a 6 volt unit (MST 6-12 connected to
channel 2).
VOLT4? MAX;:INST:SEL? Controller returns 1.0E2,4 indicating address 4 is selected and the device
connected to BITBUS channel 4 (BOP 100-1) is a 100 volt unit.
*IDN? Controller returns KEPCO,BOP,1,V4.2-1.1 (Device connected to BITBUS
channel 4 is a BOP with BIT card firmware version 1.1; TMA 4882-27 firm-
ware version is 4.2).
*RST;*IDN? Controller returns KEPCO,MBT,123456,V4.2-3.0 (Channel 1 selected;
device connected to BITBUS channel 1 is MBT 25-14, serial # 123456,
firmware version 3.0; TMA 4882-27 firmware version is 4.2).
INST:SEL 3;*IDN? Controller returns KEPCO,PSC,1,V4.2 (Channel 3 selected; unknown
device connected to channel 3; TMA 4882-27 firmware version is 4.2).
