[:SOURce]:VOLTage[1][:LEVel][:IMMediate]:OFFSet
Form Set & Query
Parameter Numeric
Parameter suffix
V
with engineering prefixes.
Value coupling
Range coupling With Amplitude, see page 70
*RST value 0.0 mV
Specified Limits –10 V to +10 V
Description Use this command to program the offset voltage of the OUTPUT signal.
Note that to set the OUTPUT levels in terms of voltage, you first have to
execute the
[:SOURce]:HOLD VOLTage
command to enable the
[:SOURce]:VOLtage
subsystem.
The available voltage range is limited by the combination of:
• Specified current limits
• Actual OUTPUT impedance setting
:OUTPut:IMPedance
• Actual expected load impedance setting
:OUTput:IMPedance:EXTernal
Example To set the offset voltage:
High = Offset +
Amplitude
2
Low = Offset –
Amplitude
2
:HOLD VOLT
:VOLT:OFF –800MV
Enable VOLTAGE subsystem
Set OUTPUT offset to –800mV
