VOLTage:PROTection? [MINimum | MAXimum]
Query the overvoltage protection trip level presently programmed.
VOLTage:PROTection:STATe {0 | 1 | OFF | ON}
Enable or disable the overvoltage protection function. At *RST, this value is
set to ‘‘ON’’.
VOLTage:PROTection:STATe?
Query the state of the overvoltage protection function. The returned parameter
is ‘‘0’’ (OFF) or ‘‘1’’ (ON).
VOLTage:PROTection:TRIPped?
Return a ‘‘1’’ if the overvoltage protection circuit is tripped and not cleared or
a ‘‘0’’ if not tripped.
VOLTage:PROTection:CLEar
Cause 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. Note
that the overvoltage condition caused by an external source must be removed
first before proceeding this command.
VOLTage:RANGe {P8V* | P20V* | P35V** | P60V** | LOW | HIGH}
Select an output range to be programmed by the identifier. For example,
‘‘P20V’’ or ‘‘HIGH’’ is the identifier for the 20V/1.5A range and ‘‘P8V’’ or ‘‘LOW’’
is for the 8V/3A range (for E3640A model). At *RST, low voltage range is
selected.
VOLTage:RANGe?
Query the currently selected range. The returned parameter is ‘‘P8V’’ or ‘‘P35V’’
for low voltage range, or ‘‘P20V’’ or ‘‘P60V’’ for high voltage range.
MEASure:CURRent?
Query the current measured across the current sense resistor inside the power
supply.
MEASure[:VOLTage]?
Query the voltage measured at the sense terminals of the power supply.
* For E3640A/42A/44A models **For E3641A/43A/45A models
