Access interface members using: driver.secondary_display.dc_current

Where driver is a reference to the driver’s root interface returned by the constructor.

class Kt34400SecondaryDisplayDCCurrent

Kt34400SecondaryDisplayDCCurrent interface.

property auto_range_enabled

Enables or disables auto ranging for Secondary DC current measurements.

Access:

ReadWrite

Type:

bool

configure(*args, **kwargs)

Overloaded function.

1. configure(self: keysight_kt34400.keysight_kt34400.Kt34400SecondaryDisplayDCCurrent) -> None

   Resets all (Secondary) measurement parameters and then configures the DMM for DC current measurements. This method does not initiate a scan. Range is AUTO.

   Parameters:

   Returns:

   None

2. configure(self: keysight_kt34400.keysight_kt34400.Kt34400SecondaryDisplayDCCurrent, range: float, resolution: keysight_kt34400.keysight_kt34400.Resolution) -> None

   Resets all (Secondary) measurement parameters and then configures the DMM for DC current measurements. This method does not initiate a scan.

   Parameters:

   • range (float) - The expected signal value. Positive values only.

   • resolution (Resolution) - Measurement resolution. Select from Least (4.5 digits), Default (5.5 digits) and Best (5.5 digits). Higher resolutions (5.5 digits) result in slower measurement speeds.

   Returns:

   None

   remarks:

   Desired range is 10 mA(MIN), 100 mA, 1 A, 10 A(MAX).

   Instrument can automatically select the measurement range using Kt34400.range.

   If input value is greater than that can be measured on the selected range, "9.9E+37" is returned.

property function

Selects the secondary measurement function for DC current measurements.

Access:

ReadWrite

Type:

DCCurrentSecondaryFunction

measure(*args, **kwargs)

Overloaded function.

1. measure(self: keysight_kt34400.keysight_kt34400.Kt34400SecondaryDisplayDCCurrent) -> float

   This resets all (Secondary) DC current measurement parameters and trigger parameters to their default values. Then, it configures the meter for DC current measurements and immediately triggers a measurement. Range is AUTO.

   Parameters:

   Returns:

   The measured value in amps.

   Return type:

   float

   remarks:

   Timeout may need to be adjusted using Kt34400.io_timeout for executing this method.

2. measure(self: keysight_kt34400.keysight_kt34400.Kt34400SecondaryDisplayDCCurrent, range: float, resolution: keysight_kt34400.keysight_kt34400.Resolution) -> float

   This resets all (Secondary) DC current measurement parameters and trigger parameters to their default values. Then, it configures the meter for DC current measurements and immediately triggers a measurement.

   Parameters:

   • range (float) - Desired range in Amps. Valid values are from 100 uA to 10 A. Positive values only.

   • resolution (Resolution) - Measurement resolution. Select from Least (4.5 digits), Default (5.5 digits) and Best (5.5 digits). Higher resolutions (5.5 digits) result in slower measurement speeds.

   Returns:

   The measured value in amps.

   Return type:

   float

   remarks:

   Desired range is 10 mA(MIN), 100 mA, 1 A, 10 A(MAX).

   Instrument can automatically select the measurement range using Kt34400.range.

   If input value is greater than that can be measured on the selected range , "+9.9E+37" is returned.

   Timeout may need to be adjusted using Kt34400.io_timeout for executing this method.

property range

Sets or gets the measurement range for Secondary DC current measurements.

Access:

ReadWrite

Type:

float

Remarks:

Desired range is 100 μA(MIN), 1 mA, 10 mA, 100 mA, 1 A or 10 A(MAX).

Selecting this property sets the Kt34400.auto_range_enabled to false.

property resolution

Sets or gets the measurement resolution for Secondary DC current measurements.

Access:

ReadWrite

Type:
