including AC fault, over-temperature, J1-Enable and J1-Shut Off, will prevent turning the
output on until the fault clears. For non-latching faults, including over-voltage and current
fold-back, turning the output on will clear the fault
Syntax: OUTPut:STATe <0|1|OFF|ON>
Parameter: 0 or OFF will set the power supply output to OFF
1 or ON will set the power supply output to ON, if it is able to
Example: OUTP:STAT 1 (or OUTP:STAT ON)
Query: OUTP:STAT? will return ON in the example, otherwise OFF
Errors: SYSTEM:ERROR? may return errors including:
+307, “On during fault”
7.3. MEASURING THE OUTPUT
7.3.1. Measure the Output Voltage
This query returns the measured voltage at the output terminals (or remote sense point)
Syntax: MEASure:VOLTage?
Example: MEAS:VOLT? may return 02.006
Response: Volts as a 5-digit number, which is one decimal place more than
the power supply’s front panel voltmeter
7.3.2. Measure the Output Current
This query returns the measured current at the output terminals
Syntax: MEASure:CURRent?
Example: MEAS:CURR? may return 009.48
Response: Amps as a 5-digit number, which is one decimal place more than
the power supply’s front panel ammeter
7.4. OPERATING MODES
7.4.1. Read CV or CC Modes
The power supply may operate in the constant-voltage or constant-current mode. The mode
is selected automatically depending on the voltage limit, current limit and load settings. The
mode is not defined when the supply’s output is off
The CV or CC mode is shown on the supply front panel LEDs above the encoders
Syntax: SOURce:MODe?
Example: SOUR:MOD?
Responses: CV when in constant-voltage mode
CC when in constant-current mode
OFF when the output is off
7.4.2. Setting Local or Remote Modes
This command changes the power supply operation to local, remote or local-lockout. The
parameter may be a number or text as described below
While the power supply is in local mode, the LAN communication may be used to measure
