Command

VSET x

These commands program output voltage. See Table 3-1 for the

VOLT

VSET xV

programming ranges of these commands.

 

VSET xMV

Initial condition: 0 V

 

ISET x

These commands program output current. See Table 3-1 for the

CURR

ISET xA

programming ranges for these commands.

 

ISET xMA

Initial condition: 0 A

 

VSET?

These commands read voltage or current settings.

VOLT?

ISET?

 

CURR?

VOUT?

These commands measure and read output voltage or current.

MEAS:VOLT?

IOUT?

 

MEAS:CURR?

OVP x

NOTE: OVP commands do not work with Agilent 603xA

VOLT:PROT

OVP xV

supplies. These commands program the overvoltage protection.

 

OVP xMV

The OVP setting is programmed in either volts or millivolts. See

 

 

Table 3-1 for the programming ranges of these commands.

 

 

Initial condition: 10% above rated output.

 

OVP?

This command reads the OVP setting.

VOLT:PROT?

VMAX x

These commands program an upper limit (soft limit) to the voltage

(None)

VMAX xV

programming value that the power supply will accept. The

 

VMAX

programming ranges are the same as those used for VSET.

 

xMV

 

 

IMAX x

These commands program an upper limit (soft limit) to the current

(None)

IMAX xA

programming value that the power supply will accept. The

 

IMAX

programming ranges are the same as those used for ISET.

 

xMA

 

 

VMAX?

These commands read the soft voltage or current limits.

(None)

IMAX?

 

 

DLY x

These commands program the delay time before a new output

OUTP:PROT:DEL

DLY xS

voltage or current is implemented or an RST, OUT ON, or CLR

 

DLY xMS

command is received. During the delay the CV, CC, and CR

 

 

conditions cannot be reported as faults, and foldback protection is

 

 

disabled.

 

DLY?

This command reads the delay time setting.

OUTP:PROT:DEL?

OUT OFF

These commands enable or disable the power supply output. The

OUTP:STAT OFF

OUT 0

disabled state programs the output to relatively low voltage and

OUTP:STAT 0

OUT ON

current values. The supply will be able to implement commands

OUTP:STAT ON

OUT 1

even while the output is disabled.

OUTP:STAT 1

 

Initial condition: OUT ON

 

FOLD OFF

These commands enable or disable Foldback protection.

(None)

FOLD CC

Foldback protection disables the power supply output if the power

 

FOLD 2

supply switches to whichever mode (CV or CC) is defined as the

 

FOLD 0

fold (error) condition. Note that foldback protection is disabled

 

FOLD CV

during the DELAY period.

 

FOLD 1

Initial condition: FOLD OFF

 

FOLD CC

 

 

FOLD 2

 

 

FOLD?

This command reads the Foldback setting.

(None)

1 x = any digit (within range) MA = milliampere MV = millivolt MS = millisecond.
