Programming the Output
Power-on initialization
When the ac source is first turned on, it wakes up with the output state set to OFF.
In this state the output voltage is set to 0. The following commands are given
implicitly at power-on:
*RST
*CLS
STATus:PRESet
*SRE 0
*ESE 0
*RST is a convenient way to program all parameters to a known state. Refer to the
*RST command in Chapter 3, "Language Dictionary" to see how each
programmable parameter is set by *RST. Refer to the *PSC command in
Chapter 3, "Language Dictionary" for more information on the power-on
initialization of the *ESE and the *SRE registers.
Enabling the output
To enable the output, use the command:
OUTPut ON
AC voltage and frequency
The AC rms output voltage is controlled with the VOLTage command. For
example, to set the AC output voltage to 125 volts rms, use:
VOLTage 125
The ac source can be programmed to turn off its output if the AC output voltage
exceeds a preset peak voltage limit. This protection feature is implemented with
the VOLTage:PROTection command as explained in Chapter 3, "Language
Dictionary".
