SCPI Instrument Command List

Command

:VOLT[12]:LIM

 

Long

[:SOURce]:VOLTage[12]:LIMit[:HIGH]

Form

Set & Query

 

Parameter

Numeric

 

Parameter suffix

V with engineering prefixes.

 

*RST value

+500 mV

 

Description

Use this command to set/read the High-level voltage limit. If you switch

 

on voltage limiting, the High-level voltage cannot be set above the

 

programmed limit. Note that the voltage is NOT limited by the OUTPUT

 

hardware, this is a software limit.

Example

:HOLD VOLT

Enable VOLTAGE subsystem

 

:VOLT1:LIM 2V

Set OUTPUT 1 High-level limit to 2 V

 

:VOLT1:LIM:STAT ON

Switch on OUTPUT 1 limits

Command

:VOLT[12]:LIM:LOW

 

Long

[:SOURce]:VOLTage[12]:LIMit:LOW

Form

Set & Query

 

Parameter

Numeric

 

Parameter suffix

V with engineering prefixes.

 

*RST value

–500 mV

 

Description

Use this command to set/read the Low-level voltage limit. If you switch

 

on voltage limiting, the Low-level voltage cannot be set below the

 

programmed limit. Note that the voltage is NOT limited by the OUTPUT

 

hardware, this is a software limit.

Example

:HOLD VOLT

Enable VOLTAGE subsystem

 

:VOLT1:LIM:LOW 0V

Set OUTPUT 1 Low-level voltage

 

:VOLT1:LIM:STAT ON

Switch on OUTPUT 1 limits
