Commands and Queries Reference

Alphabetical reference

VSET	program the voltage limiting of the Power Module’s output.
	Syntax	VSET <ch>,<value>
	Parameters	the number of the Power Module to be programmed.
		the value to be set as the Power Module’s load
		voltage limit. The lower limit of the programmed
		value is 0. The upper limit of the programmed value
		is the lower of VLIM and OVSET. If auto-polarity is
		enabled, negative output values can be programmed
		by preceding the value with a minus sigh.
	Category	Settings	Type: Overlapped
VSET?	return the current programmed value of the Power Module’s load
	voltage limit.
	Syntax	VSET? <ch>
	Parameters	the number of the channel to be queried.
	Category	Settings	Type: Sequential
WHIGH	enable / disable window upper limits checks by the Power Module.
	Syntax	WHIGH <ch>,<int>
	Parameters	the number of the Power Module to be programmed.
		a value of “0” disables and a value of “1” enables
		the Power Module’s upper limit window checks.
	Category	Warnings	Type: Sequential
WHIGH?	return the state of the Power Module’s upper window check enable
	flag. Result is “0” if disabled and “1” if enabled.
	Syntax	WHIGH? <ch>
	Parameters	the number of the channel to be queried.
	Category	Warnings	Type: Sequential
WLOW	enable / disable window lower limits checks by the Power Module.
	Syntax	WLOW <ch>,<int>
	Parameters	the number of the Power Module to be programmed.
		a value of “0” disables and a value of “1” enables
		the Power Module’s lower limit window checks.
	Category	Warnings	Type: Sequential
WLOW?	return the state of the Power Module’s lower window check enable
	flag. Result is “0” if disabled and “1” if enabled.
	Syntax	WLOW? <ch>
	Parameters	the number of the channel to be queried.
	Category	Warnings	Type: Sequential
