Section 14: SCPI command reference Model 6517B Electrometer Reference Manual14-98 6517B-901-01 Rev. C / August 2015:STIMe This command is used to specify the setting time.Usage:ROUTe:SCAN:STIMe :EXTernal?:EXTernal? DEFault:EXTernal? MINimum:EXTernal? MAXimum 0.003 to 99999.999: Specify settling time in seconds DEFault: 0 seconds MINimum: 0 seconds MAXimum: 99999.999 secondsDetailsThis command is used to specify the settling time for the relay switches on the internal scanner card.After each switch closes, a measurement does not occur until after the specified settling time expires.Also seeNone:SMEThod This command is used to select the switching method.Usage:ROUTe:SCAN:SMEThod :SMEThod? VOLTage: Break-before-make switching method CURRent: Normal switching methodDetailsThis command is used to select the switching method during an internal scan. The VOLTage methodensures that each switch opens (breaks) before the next switch in the scan closes (makes). Thismethod ensures that two or more channels cannot be closed at the same time.Use the CURRent switching method for optimum speed in applications where "break-before-make" isnot necessary.Also seeNone
