		To set all outputs to 2 A:
		CURR 2,(@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 Current key.

Select a lower range and press Select.

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

CURR:RANG 1,(@1)

Enable the Output

Front Panel: SCPI Command:

Press the On/Off key.

To enable/disable ALL outputs using the On/Off key, select System\Preferences\Keys. Check On/Off affects all channels.

The All indicator will be on.

To enable only output 1: OUTP ON,(@1)

To enable outputs 1-4:

OUTP ON,(@1:4)

Because of internal circuit start-up procedures and any installed relay options, output on may take between 35 and 50 milliseconds to complete its function. Conversely, output off may take between 20 and 25 milliseconds to complete its function.

To mitigate these built-in delays, you can program the output to zero volts rather than using the output on/off function.

Sequence Multiple Outputs

Turn-on and turn-off delays control the power-up and power-down sequencing of the output channels in relation to each other.
