Command Description SCPI
:DEFine <step#>,
RAMPTOC, <volts>, <start
amps>,<end amps>, <ovp>,
<s>
Programs the RAMPTOC sequence command into the
selected sequence at <step#>. The following values
are programmed: the starting and ending current ramp
values <start amps> and <end amps>, voltage <volts>,
over voltage protection <ovp>,and current ramping
duration in <s> seconds. <s> may have a decimal
value with a granularity of 0.001 seconds. This
command is valid for steps 1 thru 20.
C
:DEFine <step#>,
POWERSETTINGS, <watts>,
<volts>, <amps>, <ovp>,
<s>
Programs the constant power POWERSETTINGS
sequence command into the selected sequence at
<step#>. The following values define the power setting:
constant power limit <watts>,voltage limit<volts>,current
limit<amps>,over voltage protection <ovp>, and time
duration in <s> seconds. <s> may have a decimal
value with a granularity of 0.001 seconds. This
command is valid for steps 1 thru 20. If a VIMODE, or a
RAMPTOV, or a RAMPTOC command follows the
POWERSETTINGS command, then when the
POWERSETTINGS command has completed execution,
the subsequent command will take control and the
constant power mode regulation shall cease. However,
if the POWERSETTINGS command is immediately
followed by a PAUSE command, then as long as the
PAUSE is in effect the constant power mode regulation
will continue.
C
:DEFine <step#>,
REPEAT
Programs the REPEAT sequence command into the
selected sequence at <step#>. This sequence
command causes sequence execution to jump back to
the starting location where sequence execution began,
resume execution from there, and continue repeating
endlessly. To stop, issue the STOP command. This
command is valid for steps 1 thru 20. (To program a
finite number of steps to repeat, see the LOOP
command).
C
:DEFine <step#>,
SUBCALL, “name”
Programs the SUBCALL sequence command into the
selected sequence at <step#>. The SUBCALL
sequence command causes sequence execution to
jump to the beginning of a sub-sequence named
“name”. If the sub-sequence has a RETURN command
at its end, then when the RETURN command is
encountered, execution will resume at the step
immediately following the SUBCALL. This command is
valid for steps 1 thru 20.
C
:DEFine <step#>,
RETURN
Programs the RETURN sequence command into the
selected sequence at <step#>. The RETURN sequence
command, if it occurs in a sequence that was called
with a SUBCALL command, causes execution to resume
at the step immediately following the SUBCALL. If the
RETURN command occurs in a sequence executed as
the primary sequence (i.e., not a sub-sequence), then
the RETURN shall be interpreted as though it were a
STOP command. The RETURN command is valid for
steps 1 thru 21.
