11.1.3. Examples of Alternative Forms of SCPI Command
For a command:
[SOURce:]VOLTage:PROTection:LEVel <nn.nn|MAX>
The following are correct forms of the same command:
SOURCE:VOLTAGE:PROTECTION:LEVEL MAX (longest form of command)
:VOLTAGE:PROTECTION:LEVEL MAX (SOURCE and colon are optional)
VOLT:PROTECTION:LEVEL MAX (Abbreviate VOLTAGE)
VOLT:PROT:LEV MAX (Shortest form of command)
:volt:prot:lev max (Small letters acceptable)
The following are invalid forms of the command and will cause an error:
CURRENT:PROTECTION:STATE (missing parameter, MAX or number)
:CURRENT: PROTECTION:STATE MAX (no spaces in command)
:CURR:PROTEC:STATE ON ( PROTEC is not complete abbreviation)
11.2. Configuring the Output
11.2.1. Set the Voltage Limit
This command sets the voltage limit. When the power supply is running in constant-
voltage mode, this will be its output voltage
The voltage limit, rounded to four digits, may be viewed on the supply front panel by
pressing and releasing the PREView button
Syntax: [SOURce:]VOLTage[:LEVel][:IMMediate][:AMPLitude]
<nn.nn>
Parameter: <nn.nn> is volts, the acceptable range is:
from 5% more than the under-voltage (UVL) setting
to 5% less than the over-voltage protection (OVP) setting
Examples: VOLT 18.5
:VOLT 18.5
Query: VOLT? will return 18.5 in the example
(this may be different than the actual output voltage)
Errors: SYSTEM:ERROR? may return errors including:
-222, “Data out of range”
+301, “PV above OVP”
+302, “PV below UVL”
