Output Setting and Operation Commands

VOLTage:PROTection? {MINimumMAXimum}

This query returns the overvoltage protection trip level presently programmed. VOLT:PROT? MAX and VOLT:PROT? MIN return the maximum and minimum programmable overvoltage trip levels.

VOLTage:PROTection:STATe {01OFFON}

This command enables or disables the overvoltage protection function. An overvoltage condition can be cleared with the VOLT:PROT:CLE command after the condition that caused the OVP trip is removed. At *RST, this value is set to ‘‘ON’’.

VOLTage:PROTection:STATe?

This query returns the state of the overvoltage protection function. The returned parameter is ‘‘0’’ (OFF) or ‘‘1’’ (ON).

VOLTage:PROTection:TRIPped?

This query returns a ‘‘1’’ if the overvoltage protection circuit is tripped and not cleared or a ‘‘0’’ if not tripped.

VOLTage:PROTection:CLEar

This command causes the overvoltage protection circuit to be cleared. After this command, the output voltage is restored to the state it was in before the protection feature occurred and the OVP trip level remains unchanged to the value presently programmed. Before sending this command, lower the output voltage below the trip OVP point, or raise the OVP trip level above the output setting.

VOLTage:RANGe {P15VP30VLOWHIGH}

This command selects an output range to be programmed by the identifier. When 15V/7A range is selected, the maximum programmable voltage and current are limited to 15.45 volts and 7.21 amps. When 30V/4A range is selected, the maximum programmable voltage and current are limited to 30.09 volts and 4.12 amps. ‘‘P30V’’ or ‘‘HIGH’’ is the identifier for the 30V/4A range and ‘‘P15V’’ or ‘‘LOW’’ is for the 15V/7A range. At *RST, the 15V/7A range is selected.

VOLTage:RANGe?

This query returns the currently selected range. The returned parameter is ‘‘P30V’’ (HIGH) or ‘‘P15V’’ (LOW).
