:APPLy Command
The :APPLy command provides the most straightforward method to program the power supply over the
remote interface.
Syntax :APPLy {CH1|CH2|CH3}
[,<volt>|MINimum|MAXimum][,<curr>|MINimum|MAXimum]
:APPLy? {CH1|CH2|CH3}[,CURRent|VOLTage]
Description Set the voltage/current of the specified channel.
Query the voltage/current of the specified channel.
Parameter
Name Type Range Default
{CH1|CH2|CH3} Discrete CH1|CH2|CH3 None
<volt> Real Refer to the “Explanation”
<curr> Real Refer to the “Explanation”
Explanation  <volt> and <curr> can be omitted. If both of them are omitted, the command
will select the desired channel; if only one of them is omitted, the command
will set the voltage of the specified channel.
 The parameter ranges and defaults of each channel for different models are as
listed in the table below.
Channel <volt> Range <volt> Default <curr> Range <curr> Default
CH1 0V to 8.4V 0V 0A to 5.3A 5A
CH2 0V to 32V 0V 0A to 2.1A 2A
CH3 -32V to 0V 0V 0A to 2.1A 2A
Channel <volt> Range <volt> Default <curr> Range <curr> Default
CH1 0V to 32V 0V 0A to 3.2A 3A
CH2 0V to 32V 0V 0A to 3.2A 3A
CH3 0V to 5.3V 0V 0A to 3.2A 3A
 If [,CURRent|VOLTage] is omitted in the query command, the command
queries the voltage and current of the specified channel.
Return Format If [,CURRent|VOLTage] is not omitted, the query returns the voltage or current, for
example, 5.000; if the parameter is omitted, the query returns the label, voltage
and current of the specified channel (separated by commas), for example,
CH1,5.000,1.0000.
Example :APPL CH1,5,1 /*Set the voltage and current of CH1*/
:APPL? CH1 /*Query the voltage and current of CH1 and the query returns
CH1,5.000,1.0000*/
