This command sets the voltage range of the power source . Two voltage ranges are
available: a 135 volt range and a 270 volt range. However, to allow this voltage to be present
at the load, the AC source allows voltage settings slightly higher than this. This allows for
one or two volt of cable loss. Consequently, the actual voltage range values will be slightly
higher than 135 and 270. To determine the actual range values, use the query format of the
RANGE command. The returned values for high and low range (eg. 136 and 272) should be
used to change range. In any case, the high voltage range value will be two times the low
voltage range value. Sending a parameter other than the actual range values will not be
accepted. Some RP Series may use other voltage range values than shown here. It is
recommended to query the actual range values using the LIM:VOLT? query as part of your
application program.
When the range is set to 136, the maximum rms voltage that can be programmed is 136
volts.
The VRANGe command is coupled with the CURRent command. This means that the
maximum current limit that can be programmed at a given time depends on the voltage
range setting in which the unit is presently operating.
