In the keyword,

SOURce

n, the valid range of n is:

1 to 8 for

E1418A, E1418A Option 002

1 to 16 for

E1418A Option 001, E1418A Option 003.

Values of n outside these ranges will generate an error.

The

<

value

>

parameter is a floating point 32-bit number in the range of -0.02 A

to +0.02 A.

MIN

sets -0.02 Amps.

MAX

sets +0.02 Amps.

DEF

This command sets channel n to output the current specified following a valid
trigger condition. Following this command, the trigger system must be enabled
using an

INITiate

command. See the

TRIGger

subsystem discussion on page 54

for additional information.

If the module is in a wait-for-trigger state (

INIT

has been received) when this

command is received, an error is generated.

The output state of the channel must be enabled and the trigger event satisfied for
the current to appear at the output terminals.

If the channel is in the voltage mode when this command is received, an error is
generated.
