Returned parameters
<NR3> Value representing amperes, watts, or volts
Note
If the input voltage or current exceeds the maximum measurement capability of the
electronic load, an 9.9E+37 out-of-range indication will be returned in place of the normal
measurement reading.
Examples
MEAS:VOLT? Return input voltage
MEAS: CURR?; VOLT?; POW? Return input current, voltage and power
CHAN 1; :MEAS CURR?;:CHAN 2;:MEAS POW? Return Channel 1 current &
Channel 2 power

MODE Channel-Specific Command/Query
Description
This command selects the operating mode of the electronic load, which can be:
CURRent Constant-current (CC) input
RESistance Constant-resistance (CR) input
VOLTage Constant-voltage (CV) input
If the mode is changed while the input is on, the input is momentarily turned off as if
INPut(:STATe] OFF were executed. However, changing modes does not change the state
of the input nor does it turn off the TRANsient function. For multiple electronic loads, the
mode of each channel is programmed independently.
