322 VT1422A Command Reference Chapter 7
OUTPut

OUTPut:VOLTage:AMPLitude

OUTPut:VOLTage:AMPLitude <amplitude>,(@<ch_list>) sets the excitation
voltage on programmable Strain Bridge Completion SCPs pointed to by <ch_list>
(the VT1511A for example).
Note This command is not used to set output voltage on SCPs like the VT1531A Voltage
Output SCP.
Parameters

Comments To turn off excitation voltage (when using external voltage source) program

<amplitude> to 0.

Usage OUTP:VOLT:AMPL 5,(@116:119) set excitation voltage for channels 16
through 19

OUTPut:VOLTage:AMPLitude?

OUTPut:VOLTage:AMPLitude? (@<channel>) returns the current setting of
excitation voltage for the channel specified by <channel>. If the channel is not on a
VT1511A SCP, the query will return zero.
Comments The <channel> parameter must specify a single channel only.
Returned Value: Numeric, one of 0, 1, 2, 5, or 10 for VT1511A SCP, 3.9 for
non- programmable VT1506A/07A SCPs. Data type is float32.
