7 - Programming the DC Source

Output Voltage

The output voltage is controlled with the VOLTage command. To set the output voltage to 5 volts, use:

VOLT 5 or

VOLT2 5 for models that have a second output

Maximum Voltage

The maximum output voltage that can be programmed can be queried with:

VOLT? MAX

Overvoltage Protection

The dc source can be programmed to turn off its output if the output voltage exceeds a preset peak voltage limit. As explained in chapter 8, this protection feature is implemented with the following command:

VOLT:PROT <n> where <n> is the voltage protection level.

NOTE: Use the VOLTage:PROTection:STATe 0 command to disable the overvoltage protection circuit if its operation interferes with the proper operation of your phone test.

Output Current

All models have a programmable current function. The command to program the current is:

CURR <n>

or

CURR2 <n>

for models that have a second output

where <n> is the current limit in amperes.

If the load attempts to draw more current than the programmed limit, the output voltage is reduced to keep the current within the limit.

Maximum Current

The maximum output current that can be programmed can be queried with:

CURR? MAX

Overcurrent Protection

The dc source can also be programmed to turn off its output if the current limit is reached. As explained in chapter 8, this protection feature is implemented the following command:

CURR:PROT:STAT ON OFF

NOTE: Use the OUTPut:PROTection:DELay command to prevent momentary current limit conditions caused by programmed output changes from tripping the overcurrent protection.
