Programming the Output

Select an Output Channel

Front Panel: SCPI Command:

Press the Channel key to select an output channel.

Enter the selected channel(s) in the command’s parameter list. (@1,2)

Set the Output Voltage

Front Panel:	SCPI Command:
Press the Voltage key.	To set output 1 to 5 V:
Enter a value and press Select.	VOLT	5,(@1)
	To set all outputs to 10 V:
	VOLT	10,(@1:4)

For models with multiple ranges, you can select a lower range if you need better output resolution.

Front Panel: SCPI Command:

Press the Voltage key.

Select a lower range and press Select.

To select the lower range, program a value that falls within the range:

VOLT:RANG 5,(@1)

Set the Voltage Slew Rate

	The ability to program the voltage slew rate is only available on power system
NOTE
	mainframes with firmware revision B.00.00 and up.
	Front Panel:	SCPI Command:
	Select Output\Slew	To set the slew rate to 5 V/s
	Enter a slew rate in the Voltage	VOLT:SLEW 5,(@1)
	Slew Rate field. Enter the value in	To set the fastest slew rate:
	volts/second. Check MAX to	VOLT:SLEW MAX,(@1)
	program the fastest slew rate.

When MAXimum, INFinity, or very large values are selected, the slew rate will be limited by the analog performance of the output circuit.

Also, the slowest or minimum slew rate is a function of the full-scale voltage range. For a model with a 50 V range, the minimum slew rate is about 4.76 V/s. For other voltage ranges the minimum slew rate is proportional to this value, so for a model with a 5 V range the minimum slew rate is about 0.476 V/s.
