VOLTage:STEP {<numeric value> | DEFault}
Set the step size for voltage programming with the VOLT UP and VOLT DOWN
commands. See the example below.
To set the step size to the minimum resolution, set the step size to ‘‘DEFault’’. The
minimum resolution of the step size is approximately 0.35 mV (E3646A), 1.14 mV
(E3647A), 0.38 mV (E3648A), and 1.14 mV (E3649A), respectively.
The immediate voltage level increases or decreases by the value of the step size. For
example, the output voltage will increase or decrease 10 mV if the step size is 0.01.
At *RST, the step size is the value of the minimum resolution.
VOLTage:STEP? [DEFault]
Return the value of the step size currently specified. The returned parameter is a
numeric value. ‘‘DEFault’’ gives the minimum resolution step size in unit of volts.
Example The following program segments show how to use the VOLT UP or 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:TRIGgered {<voltage>| MINimum | MAXimum}
Program the pending triggered voltage level. The pending triggered voltage level is
a stored value that is transferred to the output terminals when a trigger occurs. A
pending triggered level is not affected by subsequent VOLTage commands.
VOLTage:TRIGgered? [MINimum | MAXimum]
Query the triggered voltage level presently programmed. If no triggered level is
programmed, the VOLT level is returned.
