[:MODE] <name>
:SOURce[1]:FUNCtion[:MODE] <name> Select source mode
Parameters <name> = VOLTage Select voltage mode
CURRent Select current mode
MEMory Select memory mode
Query [:MODE]? Query selected source
Description This command is used to select the source mode. With VOLTage
selected, the V-Source will be used, and with CURRent selected, the
I-Source will be used.
With MEMory selected, a memory sweep can be performed. Operat-
ing setups (up to 100) saved in memory can be sequentially recalled.
This allows multiple source/measure functions to be used in a
sweep.

Description This command is used to select the DC sourcing mode for the speci-
fied source. The three modes are explained as follows:
FIXed — In this DC sourcing mode, the specified source will output a
fixed level. Use the :RANGe and :AMPLitude commands to specify
the fixed source level. (See
“Select range,” page 18-74, and “Set
amplitude for fixed source,” page 18-77.)
LIST — In this mode, the source will output levels that are specified
in a list. See “
Configure list” for commands to define and control the
execution of the list.
SWEep — In this mode, the source will perform a voltage, current or
memory sweep. See
“Configure voltage and current sweeps,”
page 18-83, and “Configure memory sweep,” page 18-93, for com-
mands to define the sweep.
NOTE The sourcing mode will default to FIXed whenever the SourceMeter goes to
the local state.
