VOLTage:RANGe

Agilent 6814B, 6834B, 6843A Only

Phase Selectable

This command sets the voltage range of the ac source. Two voltage ranges are available: a 150 volt range and a 300 volt range. Sending a parameter greater than 150 selects the 300 volt range, otherwise the 150 volt range is selected.

When the range is set to 150, the maximum rms voltage that can be programmed for a sine wave is 150 volts. For other waveshapes, the maximum programmable voltage may be different, depending on the waveform crest factor.

The VOLTage:RANGe command is coupled with the CURRent command. This means that the maximum current limit that can be programmed at a given time depends on the voltage range setting in which the unit is presently operating. Refer to Chapter 4 under "Coupled Commands" for more information.

These commands select the type of closed loop feedback that is used by the output power circuits of the ac source. The commands are interchangeable; they both perform the same function. The following closed loop feedbacks can be selected:

RTIMe

This feeds the instantaneous output voltage back to the error amplifier and compares it to

 

the reference waveform.

RMS

This converts the rms output voltage to dc and compares it to a dc reference.
