Programming Voltage and Current

The following statements program both voltage and current and return the actual output from the sense terminals:
OUTP OFF
VOLT 45;CURR 25
VOLT?;CURR?
OUTP ON
MEAS:VOLT?;MEAS:CURR?

Programming Protection Circuits

This example programs the voltage and current, programs an overvoltage protection value, and turns on the overcurrent
protection. It then reads back all the programmed values.
VOLT:LEV 45;PROT 47.5
CURR:LEV 25;PROT:STAT ON
VOLT:LEV?;PROT?;:CURR:LEV?;PROT:STAT?
Note the required use of the optional LEVel header in the above example (see "The Effect of Optional Headers", given
previously).

Changing Outputs by Trigger

If you do not program pending triggered levels, they default to the programmed (immediate) output levels. The following
statements shows some basic trigger commands.
OUTP OFF
VOLT:LEV:IMM 22;TRIG 25
CURR:LEV:IMM I5;TRIG 25
VOLT:LEV:IMM?;TRIG?;:CURR:LEV:IMM?;TRIG?
OUTP ON
MEAS:VOLT?;CURR?
INIT;TRIG
INIT;*TRG
MEAS:VOLT?;CURR?
If you need to send two or more triggers, program the trigger circuit for continuous arming.
OUTP OFF
VOLT:LEV:IMM 5O;TRIG 25
INTIT:CONT ON
OUTP ON
TRIG
VOLT:TRIG 50;:TRIG
INTIT:CONT OFF

Saving and Recalling States

Read back the programmed values.
Disable the output.
Program the (immediate) voltage level to 22V and the pending
triggered level to 25 V.
Program the (immediate) current level to 15 A and the pending
triggered level to 25 A.
Check all the programmed values.
Enable the output.
Read back the immediate levels from the sense terminals.
Arm the trigger circuit and send a single trigger.
Same as above, except using a common command.
Read back the triggered levels from the sense terminals.
Disable the output.
Program the (immediate) voltage level to 50 V and the pending
triggered level to 25 V.
Program the trigger circuit for continuous arming.
Enable the output to 50 V.
Trigger the output voltage to 25 V.
Set the pending trigger level to 50 V and trigger the output
voltage back to 50 V.
Remove the continuous triggger arming.
