VOLTage {<voltage>| MINimum | MAXimum|UP|DOWN}
This command programs the immediate voltage level of the power supply. The
immediate level is the voltage value of the output terminals.
The
VOLTage
command changes the output of the power supply to the newly
programmed value regardless of the output range presently selected.
You can substitute ‘‘
MINimum
’’ or ‘‘
MAXimum
’’ in place of a specific value for
the voltage parameter.
MIN
selects the lowest voltage values of ‘‘0’’ volts.
MAX
selects the highest voltage values allowed for the selected range.
This command also increases or decreases the immediate voltage level using
the ‘‘
UP
’’ or ‘‘
DOWN
’’ parameter by a predetermined amount. The command
VOLTage:STEP
sets the amount of increase or decrease. Notice that a new
increment setting will cause an execution error -222 (Data out of range) when
the maximum or the minimum rated voltage is exceeded.
VOLTage
The following program segments show how to use the
VOLT UP
or
Example
VOLT DOWN
command to increase or decrease the output voltage with the
VOLT:STEP
command.
‘‘
VOLT:STEP 0.01
’’
Set the step size to 0.01 V
‘‘
VOLT UP
’’
Increase the output voltage
‘‘
VOLT:STEP 0.02
’’
Set the step size to 0.02 V
‘‘
VOLT DOWN
’’
Decrease the output voltage
VOLTage? [MINimum | MAXimum]
This query returns the presently programmed voltage level of the power
supply.
VOLT? MAX
and
VOLT? MIN
return the highest and lowest
programmable voltage levels for the selected range.
