Like the APPLyn commands, you can change the output value by sending additional SOURcen commands. Changing the output value with the SOURcen commands does not open the output relay.
/* Set channel 1 voltage mode */
SOURce1:FUNCtion:MODE VOLTage
/* Set channel 1 voltage output */
SOURce1:VOLTage 5.000
/* Turn on the output */
OUTPut1 ON
/* Channel 1 output is enabled */ /* Send a new output voltage */
SOURce1:VOLTage 15.000
Changing the output mode with the SOURcen commands opens the output relay.
/* Set channel 1 voltage mode */
SOURce1:FUNCtion:MODE VOLTage
/* Set channel 1 voltage output */
SOURce1:VOLTage 5.000
/* Turn on the output */
OUTPut1 ON
/* Channel 1 output is enabled and 5 volts applied */ /* Send a new output mode */
SOURce1:FUNCtion:MODE CURRent
/* Channel 1 output is disabled */ /* Set channel 1 output current */
SOURce1:CURRent .01
/* Channel 1 is programmed for 10 mA */ /* Turn on the output */
OUTPut1 ON
/* Channel 1 output is enabled and 10 mA applied */
