Simplified Programming Overview
This section gives an overview of the basic techniques used to program the power
supply over the remote interface. This section is only an overview and does not give
all of the details you will need to write your own application programs. Refer to the
remainder of this chapter and also chapter 6, Application Programs, for more details
and examples. Also refer to the programming reference manual that came with your
computer for details on outputting command strings and entering data.
Using the APPLy Command
The APPLy command provides the most straightforward method to program the
power supply over the remote interface. For example, the following statement
executed from your computer will set the +6V supply to an output of 3 V rated at 1 A:
"APPL P6V, 3.0, 1.0"
Using the Low-Level Commands
Although the APPLy command provides the most straightforward method to program
the power supply, the low-level commands give you more flexibility to change
individual parameters. For example, the following statements executed from your
computer will set the +6V supply to an output of 3 V rated at 1 A:
"INST P6V" Select +6V output
"VOLT 3.0" Set output voltage to 3.0 V
"CURR 1.0" Set output current to 1.0 A
