:VSOurce[:AMPLitude] <n>
[:SENSe[1]:RESistance:MANual:VSOurce[:AMPLitude] <n> Set V-Source level for Manual V-Source
Ohms
Parameters <n> = -100 to 100 Set voltage for 100V range
-1000 to 10000 Set voltage for 1000V range
DEFault 0V
MINimum Greatest allowable negative value
MAXimum Greatest allowable positive value
Query [:AMPLitude]? Query programmed V-Source level
[:AMPLitude]? DEFault Query *RST default V-Source level
[:AMPLitude]? MINimum Query lowest allowable level
[:AMPLitude]? MAXimum Query largest allowable level
Description This command is used to set the V-Source level for Manual V-Source Ohms. With Auto V-
Source Ohms selected, you will not be able to adjust the V-Source level.
The amplitude level is limited by the selected V-Source range (see previous command). When
on the 100V range, attempts to set the amplitude to a value that exceeds 100V will result in a
Setting Conflicts error. The amplitude may also be limited by the :SOURce:VOLTage:LIM-
it[:AMPLitude] command. Attempts to set an amplitude that exceeds this programmed limit will
set the amplitude to that limit.
The MINimum and MAXimum parameters are also affected by range and voltage limit. Setting
the V-Source to the MINimum (or MAXimum) amplitude selects the greatest negative (or pos-
itive) value allowed by the programmed limit or range. The V-Source output (operate or stand-
by) is controlled from the :OPERate command (see next command).
:VSOurce:OPERate <b>
[:SENSe[1]:RESistance:MANual:VSOurce:OPERate <n>
Parameters <b> = ON or 1 Enable V-Source (operate)
OFF or 0 Disable V-Source (standby)
Query :OPERate? Query state of V-Source
Description This command is used to enable or disable the V-Source for Manual V-Source Ohms. When en-
abled, the V-Source is placed in operate. When disabled, the V-Source is placed in standby.
