VOLTage {<voltage>| MINimum | MAXimum|UP|DOWN}
This command programs the immediate voltage level of the power supply. The
immediate level is the voltage value of the output terminals.
The VOLTage command changes the output of the power supply to the newly
programmed value regardless of the output range presently selected.
You can substitute ‘‘MINimum’’ or ‘‘MAXimum’’ in place of a specific value for
the volt age pa ramete r. MIN select s the lo west v oltage value s of ‘‘0 ’’ vol ts. MAX
selects the highest voltage values allowed for the selected range.
This command also increases or decreases the immediate voltage level using
the ‘‘UP’’ or ‘‘DOWN’’ parameter by a predetermined amount. The command
VOLTage:STEP sets the amount of increase or decrease. Notice that a new
increment setting will cause an execution error -222 (Data out of range) when
the maximum or the minimum rated voltage is exceeded.
VOLTage The following program segments show how to use the VOLT UP or
Example VOLT DOWN command to increase or decrease the output voltage with the
VOLT:STEP command.
"VOLT:STEP 0.01" Set the step size to 0.01 V
"VOLT UP" Increase the output voltage
"VOLT:STEP 0.02" Set the step size to 0.02 V
"VOLT DOWN" Decrease the output voltage
VOLTage? [MINimum | MAXimum]
This query returns the presently programmed voltage level of the power
supply. VOLT? MAX and VOLT? MIN return the highest and lowest
programmable voltage levels for the selected range.
