CURRent:STEP {<numeric value>|DEFault}
Set the step size for current programming with the CURRent
UP and CURRent DOWN commands. See the example as
shown in “Example” on page 84.
To set the step size to the minimum resolution, set the step
size to DEFault. The minimum resolution of the step size is
approximately 0.052 mA (E3640A), 0.015 mA (E3641A),
0.095 mA (E3642A), 0.026 mA (E3643A), 0.152 mA
(E3644A), and 0.042 mA (E3645A), respectively.
The CURR:STEP? DEF returns the minimum resolution of
your instrument. The immediate current level increases or
decreases by the value of the step size. For example, the
output current will increase or decrease 10 mA if the step
size is 0.01. At *RST, the step size is the value of the
minimum resolution.
CURRent:STEP? [DEFault]
Return the value of the step size currently specified. The
returned parameter is a numeric value. DEFault gives the
minimum resolution of the step size in unit of amperes.
CURRent:TRIGgered
{<current>|MINimum|MAXimum}
Program the pending triggered current level. The pending
triggered current level is a stored value that is transferred to
the output terminals when a trigger occurs. A pending
triggered level is not affected by subsequent CURRent
commands.
CURRent:TRIGgered? [MINimum|MAXimum]
Query the triggered current level presently programmed. If
no triggered level is programmed, the CURRent level is
returned.
