Output Settings and Operation Commands
This section describes low- level commands used to program
the power supply. Although the APPLy command provides
the most straightforward method to program the power
supply, the low- level output setting commands give you more
flexibility to change the individual parameters.
CURRent {<current>|MINimum|MAXimum|UP|DOWN}
This command programs the immediate current level of the
power supply. The immediate level is the current value of
the output terminals.
The CURRent 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 current parameter. MIN selects the
lowest current values of 0 A. MAX selects the highest current
values allowed for the selected range.
This command also increases or decreases the immediate
current level using the UP or DOWN parameter by a
predetermined amount. The command CURRent:STEP sets
the amount of increment or decrement. Notice that a new
increment setting will cause an execution error - 222 (Data
out of range) when the maximum or the minimum rated
current is exceeded.
CURRent? [MINimum|MAXimum]
Return the presently programmed current level of the power
supply. CURR? MAX and CURR? MIN return the highest and
lowest programmable current levels for the selected range.
CURRent:STEP {<numeric value>|DEFault}
Set the step size for current programming with the CURRent
UP and CURRent DOWN commands. See the example as
shown in
“Example” on page 85.
