14.3.21 SOurce:VOltage <wsp>
This command sets the output voltage of the power supply. The mode of operation depends upon the
load.
SOurce:VOltage?
This query returns the present setting of the voltage.
Note that both voltage and current have to be programmed. It is necessary that the values of both
current and voltage are non zero, otherwise the power supply can not function properly. If zero volts is
programmed, then the current is limited to zero. If zero current is programmed, then the voltage will not
rise!
14.3.22 MEasure:VOltage?
This query returns the voltage measured at the power supply sense terminals.
14.3.23 MEasure:CUrrent?
This query returns the current delivered by the power supply.
Wait for a response from the power supply because it needs time to collect data and send it to the
computer.
Note:
When you write a program, you have to take care of the timing.
The ADC needs some time to measure the voltage or current.
See example programs on www.DeltaPowerSupplies.com.
14.3.24 CH
The channel command CH<wsp>n is the first command that should be executed to enable the
PSC-232xxx type with that channel number. Each unit must have a unique channel number between 0
and 30. The channel can be set with the DIP switch on the front panel of the PSC-232 module or on the
back side of an power supply.
CH?
The command CH? Reads the channel number of the active PSC-232 and communicates this back to
the computer.
14.3.25 Help?
The query HELP? returns a list of PSC commands.
14.3.26 SEnse:DIgital:DAta?
The Device Status Condition register contains the power supply status and returns a decimal value,
which expressed in base 2, reflects the bit values of the register. The returned value is a NR1 response
data type. See the power supply manual if the status available.
14.3.27 SEnse:DIgital:EXtendeddata?
The Device Extended status Condition register contain the power supply status and returns a decimal
value, which expressed in base 2, reflects the bit values of the register. The returned value is a NR1
response data type. See the power supply manual if the status available.
14.3.28 SEnse:DIgital:SWitch?
The Digital switch Condition register contain the power supply DIP switch status and returns a decimal
value, which expressed in base 2, reflects the bit values of the register. The returned value is a NR1
response data type. See the power supply manual if the DIP switch status is available.
