Sense Subsystem
This subsystem controls the measurement current range, the data acquire sequence, and the harmonic
measurement window of the ac source.
Subsystem Syntax

[:UPPer]<n> Sets measurement current range
:SWEep

Agilent 6811B, 6812B, 6813B, Only
This command sets the current measurement range. There are two current measurement ranges:
Agilent 6811B
High Range: 0 through 28.5671 A
rms
(
−
40.4 A
peak
through + 40.4 A
peak
)
Low Range: 0 through 2.85671 A
rms
(
−
4.04 A
peak
through + 4.04 A
peak
)
Agilent 6812B, Agilent 6813B
High Range: 0 through 57.1342 A
rms
(
−
80.8 A
peak
through + 80.8 A
peak
)
Low Range: 0 through 5.71342 A
rms
(
−
8.08 A
peak
through + 8.08 A
peak
)
The high range covers the maximum current measurement capability of the instrument. The low range
increases the low current measurement sensitivity by a factor of 10 for greater accuracy and resolution.
The value that you program with SENS:CURR:ACDC:RANG must be the maximum rms current that you
expect to measure. Based on this value, the instrument will select the range that gives the best resolution
in measuring a sinusoidal waveform of that rms value. The crossover value of the two ranges is
5.71342 A
rms
. (2.85671 A
rms
for Agilent 6811B)
