RES[:LEVel] Channel-Specific Resistance Command/Query

Description

This is an implied keyword that specifies the value of the programmed input resistance and

whether that value is to be applied immediately or on occurrence of a trigger. If the

specified channel is in the CR (Constant-Resistance) Mode, an IMMediate resistance level

is transferred to the input as soon as the command is executed. A TRIGgered level is

stored and transferred to the electronic load input when the trigger occurs. At that time, the

change to the input level occurs at the presently active voltage slew rate (for the lowest

resistance range) or presently active current slew rate (for the middle and highest ranges).

Following the trigger event, subsequent triggers will not affect the input level unless the

electronic load has been sent another TRIGered level command.

If the electronic load is not in the CR Mode when an IMMediate or TRIGgered level

command is sent, the programmed levels are saved for the next time the electronic load is

placed in the CR Mode. Triggered levels are processed by the Resistance Subsystem even

when the electronic load is not in the CR Mode. Thus, the TRIGered level becomes a

stored IMMediate level that takes effect when the electronic load is again in the CR mode.

Note

Setting an IMM resistance level to the same value as the most recent TRIG resistance

level will not deactivate a pending TRIG level. You must use ABORt to deactivate it.
