RES:TLEVel Channel-Specific Resistance Command/Query

Description

This command specifies the value of the programmed resistance level for the TRANsient

input when the electronic load is in the CR (Constant-Resistance) Mode. When the

Transient Subsystem is on, the electronic load input resistance will switch (under control

of the Transient Subsystem) between the main resistance and TLEVel at a rate determined

by the present value of VOLT:SLEW (lowest resistance range) or by CURR:SLEW

(middle and high resistance ranges). In order for input resistance level switching to occur,

TLEVel must be programmed as follows:

Lowest range TLEVel > LEVel

Middle and highest ranges TLEVel < LEVel

If the above rules are not followed, no error is generated but transient switching will not

occur. If the main resistance is subsequently programmed to the proper level with respect

to TLEVel, switching will begin provided the TRANsient subsystem is on. If TLEVel is

programmed outside the specified range, an error is generated (See Table 4-2 at the end of

this chapter).

Command Syntax

RESistance:TLEVel <NRf+>

Parameters

See Table 4-1 and the Operating Manual of the electronic load model.

Value Coupling

The higher values of resistance levels have less resolution. Programmed levels are set to

the nearest value obtainable by the hardware.

Examples

RES: TLEV MAX Set transient level to maximum resistance for the range

RES:RANG 1000 Since TLEV> LEV on the 1k range, no

RES 200; :RES:TLEV 400; :TRAN ON transient switching occurs

RES: TLEV 100 Now TLEV < LEV and input switches from

100 to 200 ohms

Query Syntax

RES:TLEV?

Returned Parameters

<NR3> Transient resistance value for present range. If the electronic

load is not in Resistance Mode, the value will still be set, even if it is less

than the presently programmed input resistance.
