Set the Output Voltage
Front Panel Menu Reference SCPI Command
Press the Voltage key.
Enter a voltage value. Then press Select.
To setoutput 1 to 5 V:
VOLT 5,(@1)
To setall outputs to 10 V:
VOLT 10,(@1:4)
For models with multiple ranges, you can select a lower range if you need better output resolution.
Front Panel Menu Reference SCPI Command
Press the Voltage key.
Select a lower range. Then press Select.
To selectthe lower range, program a value that
falls within the range:
VOLT:RANG 5,(@1)
For Keysight Models N678xA SMU operating in current priority mode, you can specify a
Voltage limit, which limits the output voltage at the specified value. In current priority mode, the
output current remains at its programmed setting as long as the output voltage is within the positive
or negative limit. Check Tracking to let the negative voltage limit track the positive voltage limit.
Front Panel Menu Reference SCPI Command
Press the Voltage key.
Specify a + Voltage limitand or a − Voltage limit. Then press
Select.
Check the Tracking box if you want the − limitto track the + limit.
To selectthe voltage limit:
VOLT:LIM 5,(@1)
To selectthe negative voltage limit:
VOLT:LIM:NEG 3,(@1)
To enable voltage limittracking:
VOLT:LIM:COUP ON,(@1)
