Set the Output Voltage
You can set the output voltage when the output is either disabled (OFF) or enabled (ON). When enabled, the output
voltage will rise to the programmed setting. This assumes that a minimum output current has been programmed, that
the output has not reached its current limit or power limit boundary.
