SENSe1 subsystem
The Sense1 subsystem is used to configure and control the measurement functions of
the SourceMeter. Many of the commands are global, where a single command affects
all functions. Some commands are unique to a specific function. For example, you can
program a unique range setting for each basic function (amps, volts, and ohms).
A function does not have to be selected before you can program its various configura-
tions. Whenever a programmed function is selected, it assumes the programmed
states.
The commands for this subsystem are summarized in Table 18-6.
Select measurement functions
CONCurrent <b>
[:SENSe[1]]:FUNCtion:CONCurrent <b> Control concurrent measurements
Parameters <b> = 0 or OFF Disable concurrent measurements
1 or ON Enable concurrent measurements
Query :CONCurrent? Query state of concurrent measurements
Description This command is used to enable or disable the ability of the instru-
ment to measure more than one function simultaneously. When
enabled, the instrument will measure the functions that are selected.
(See
“[:ON] <function list>,” page 18-59, “OFF <function list>,”
page 18-59, and “ALL,” page 18-60.)
When disabled, only one measurement function can be enabled.
When making the transition from :CONCurrent ON to :CONCurrent
OFF, the voltage (VOLT:DC) measurement function will be selected.
All other measurement functions will be disabled. Use the :FUNC
-
Tion[:ON] command to select one of the other measurement func-
tions.
NOTE For the Model 2430 Pulse Mode, concurrent measurements are always dis-
abled. Sending this command results in error +831.
NOTE The function selected with the SENSE:FUNC command will not be displayed
on the front panel if concurrent measurements are enabled.
