VOLTage {<voltage>| MINimum | MAXimum|UP|DOWN}
This command programs the immediate voltage level of the power supply. The
immediate level is the voltage value of the output terminals.
The VOLTage command changes the output of the power supply to the newly
programmed value regardless of the output range presently selected.
You can substitute ‘‘MINimum’’ or ‘‘MAXimum’’ in place of a specific value for the
voltage parameter. MIN selects the lowest voltage values of ‘‘0’’ volts. MAX selects
the highest voltage values allowed for the selected range.
This command also increases or decreases the immediate voltage level using the
‘‘UP’’ or ‘‘DOWN’’ parameter by a predetermined amount. The command
VOLTage:STEP sets the amount of increase or decrease. Notice that a new
increment setting will cause an execution error -222 (Data out of range) when the
maximum or the minimum rated voltage is exceeded.
VOLTage The following program segments show how to use the VOLT UP or
Example
VOLT DOWN command to increase or decrease the output voltage with the
VOLT:STEP command.
‘‘VOLT:STEP 0.01’’ Set the step size to 0.01 V
‘‘VOLT UP’’ Increase the output voltage
‘‘VOLT:STEP 0.02’’ Set the step size to 0.02 V
‘‘VOLT DOWN’’ Decrease the output voltage
VOLTage? [MINimum | MAXimum]
This query returns the presently programmed voltage level of the power supply.
VOLT? MAX and VOLT? MIN return the highest and lowest programmable voltage
levels for the selected range.
