Output Setting 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” amps. 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 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 current is exceeded.
CURRent example
The following program segments show how to use the CURR UP or CURR DOWN
command to increase or decrease the output current with the
CURR:STEP
command.
“CURR:STEP 0.01” Set the step size to 0.01 A
“CURR UP” Increase the output current
“CURR:STEP 0.02” Set the step size to 0.02 A
“CURR DOWN” Decrease the output current
