IEC Mode Command Summary
Introduction
The Agilent 6800-Series AC Power Source/Analyzer is designed to operate in Normal as well as IEC
mode. In Normal mode, the ac source responds to all of the commands that program ac source operation.
Normal mode commands are documented in the Agilent 6800 Series Programming Guide. In IEC mode,
the Agilent 6800-Series AC Power Source/Analyzer provides full EN 61000-3-2/EN 60555 Part 2 and
EN 61000-3-3 compliance test capability. The SYSTem CONFigure command details the differences
between Normal and IEC mode.
When the Agilent 6800-Series AC Power Source/Analyzer is being used in IEC mode, the Agilent
14761A HFTS software handles all of the communication between the user and the Agilent 6800-Series
AC Power Source/Analyzer. The Agilent 14761A HFTS software must be loaded and running in
Microsoft Windows on a personal computer that is connected to the Agilent 6800-Series AC Power
Source/Analyzer.
The IEC commands that are described in this appendix are for those users who need to directly program
the IEC functions of the Agilent 6800-Series AC Power Source/Analyzer without using the Agilent
14761A HFTS software. Be aware that these commands will return “raw” IEC data from the Agilent
6800-Series AC Power Source/Analyzer. It is the programmer’s responsibility to interpret the data
according to the IEC standards.
Using the SENSe:CURRent:ACDC:RANGe command
The SENSe:CURRent:ACDC:RANGe command is documented in the Agilent
6811B/12B/13B/14B/34B/43A Programmer’s Guide. When using this command in IEC mode, you must
always initialize it before making any Array measurements by sending a Meas:Curr? command. For
example:
SENSe:CURRent:ACDC:RANGe
MEASure:CURRent?
