keys. You can use the Voltage and Current knobs to adjust the values in the Voltage and Current
fields. Press Enter to enter the value.
Step 3 - Enable the Output
Press the color-coded On key to enable an individual output. When an output is on, the On key for that
output is lit. When an output is off, the On key is not lit. The All Outputs On and Off keys turn all outputs
on or off simultaneously.
The state of a disabled output (output off) is a condition of zero output voltage and zero source current
The red Emergency Stop key turns all outputs off immediately without any output off
delays.
Step 4 - View the Output Voltage and Curent
Select Meter View to view the output voltage and current. When an output is enabled, the front panel
meters continuously measure and display the output voltage and current.
From the remote interface:
A channel parameter is required with each SCPI command to select an output. For example, (@1)
selects output 1, (@2,4) selects output 2 and 4, and (@1:4) selects outputs 1 through 4. The output
list must be preceded with an @ symbol and be enclosed in parentheses ().
To set only output 1 to 10.02 V and 1 A:
VOLT 10.02,(@1)
CURR 1,(@1)
To set the output current limit to 1 A for Keysight Models N678xA SMU and N6783A:
