SCPI Instrument Command List
Range coupling
Amplitude
Description Use this command to program the offset current of the OUTPUT signal.
Note that to set the OUTPUT levels in terms of current, you first have to
execute the [:SOURce]:HOLD CURRent command to enable the
:SOURce]:CURRent subsystem.
The available current range is limited by the combination of:
• Specified Voltage limits
• Actual OUTPUT Impedance setting :OUTPut:IMPedance
• Actual Expected Load impedance setting
Example
To program the offset current of the output signal:
:HOLD CURR
:CURR:OFF 50MA
Command
:CURR[1]:HIGH
Long
[:SOURce]:CURRent[1][:LEVel][:IMMediate]:HIGH
