Command | Description |
|
VMAX <voltage> | Sets an upper soft limit on the supply’s programmed output voltage. If the | |
| soft limit is exceeded, or if the soft limit value is lower than the present | |
| output voltage setting, the supply will ignore the command, turn on the | |
| ERR LED, and set the ERR bit in the accumulated status register. | |
| Range: 0 to model maximum output voltage (VMAX) | |
| Initial value: model VMAX | |
|
|
|
VMAX? | Asks for the supply’s soft voltage limit setting. | |
| Response: VMAX <voltage> |
|
VOUT? | Measures the supply’s actual voltage output using the | |
| readback circuitry. | |
| Response: VOUT <voltage> |
|
VRDAT <Vlo>,<Vhi> | Calculates and records the slope and offset for readback voltage using | |
| VRLO and VRHI data. Set CMODE ON before using this command. See | |
| also the calibration procedures in Section 4 . | |
| <Vlo> and <Vhi> are in <voltage> format. | |
|
|
|
VRHI | The power supply outputs a voltage value to an external voltmeter | |
| connected as part of the calibration procedure and records a voltage | |
| readback value internally. These values are at the high end of the | |
| programmed voltage range. Refer to the output value as VRHI and record it | |
| to use as input with the VRDAT command. Set CMODE ON before using | |
| this command. See also the calibration procedures in Section 4. | |
|
|
|
VRLO | The power supply outputs a voltage value to an external voltmeter | |
| connected as part of the calibration procedure and records a voltage | |
| readback value internally. These values are at the low end of the | |
| programmed voltage range. Refer to the output value as VRLO and record it | |
| to use as input with the VRDAT command. Set CMODE ON before using | |
| this command. See also the calibration procedures in Section 4. | |
|
|
|
VSET <voltage> | Sets the power supply’s output voltage in volts (default) or in millivolts. This | |
or | programmed voltage is the actual output in CV (constant voltage) mode or | |
VSET | the voltage limit in CC (constant current) mode. | |
| If you enter a negative voltage value, the power supply will assert a signal | |
| on the | |
| relays to switch the output polarity. | |
| Range: 0 to model maximum output voltage (VMAX) | |
| Initial value: 0 volts |
|
VSET? | Asks for the power supply’s present output voltage setting. Does not apply | |
| to voltage settings which are being held. See HOLD command. | |
| Response: VSET <voltage> |
