17-68 SCPI Command Reference
If a manual source range is presently selected, then the specified amplitude
cannot exceed that range. For example, if the V-Source is on the 2V range
(auto range disabled), you will not be able to set the V-Source amplitude to
3V. In auto range, the amplitude can be set to any level that is within the
capabilities of the source.
The MINimum and MAXimum parameters are only valid if the highest
source range is presently selected. Sending the MINimum or MAXimum
parameters on a lower source range will generate error -221 (Setting
Conflict).
:TRIGgered[:AMPLitude] <n>
:SOURce[1]:CURRent[:LEVel]:TRIGgered[:AMPLitude] <n> Set fixed I-Source amplitude when trig-
gered
:SOURce[1]:VOLTage[:LEVel]:TRIGgered[:AMPLitude] <n> Set fixed V-Source amplitude when
triggered
Parameters <n> = -105e-3 to 105e-3 Set I-Source amplitude (amps)
-210 to 210 Set V-Source amplitude (volts)
DEFault 0A or 0V
MINimum -105e-3A or -210V
MAXimum +105e-3A or +210V
Query :TRIGgered? Query triggered amplitude for fixed source
:TRIGgered? DEFault Query *RST default amplitude
:TRIGgered? MINimum Query lowest allowable amplitude
:TRIGgered? MAXimum Query highest allowable amplitude
Description This command performs the same as the [:IMMediate][:AMPLitude] com-
mand except that the amplitude is not updated immediately.
With this command, the amplitude is updated when the SourceMeter is
triggered to perform a source-measure operation. For example, if the
instrument is waiting in the trigger layer for an external trigger, the
amplitude of the source will not update until that external trigger is received
by the SourceMeter. See Section 10, Trigger model for details on trigger
model operation.
The MINimum and MAXimum parameters are only valid if the highest
source range is presently selected. Sending the MINimum or MAXimum
parameters on a lower source range will generate error -221 (Setting
Conflict).
