:SOURce:VOLTage:LEVel
Function Sets the voltage source level value or queries
the current setting.
Syntax :SOURce:VOLTage:LEVel <Voltage>|
MINimum|MAXimum
<Voltage> = Sets the voltage level to the
specified value.
MINimum = Sets the voltage level to the
minimum value.
MAXimum = Sets the voltage level to the
maximum value.
:SOURce:VOLTage:LEVel? [MINimum|
MAXimum]
No parameter = Queries the current value.
MINimum = Queries the minimum value.
MAXimum = Queries the maximum value.
→ <Voltage>
Example :SOUR:VOLT:LEV -99.999
:SOUR:VOLT:LEV MAX
:SOUR:VOLT:LEV?
:SOUR:VOLT:LEV? MAX
:SOURce:VOLTage:PBASe
Function Sets the pulse base value for voltage pulse
generation or queries the current setting.
Syntax :SOURce:VOLTage:PBASe <Voltage>|
MINimum|MAXimum
<Voltage> = Sets the pulse base value to the
specified value.
MINimum = Sets the pulse base value to the
minimum value.
MAXimum = Sets the pulse base value to the
maximum value.
:SOURce:VOLTage:PBASe? [MINimum|
MAXimum]
No parameter = Queries the current value.
MINimum = Queries the minimum value.
MAXimum = Queries the maximum value.
→ <Voltage>
Example :SOUR:VOLT:PBAS -0.5
:SOUR:VOLT:PBAS MAX
:SOUR:VOLT:PBAS?
:SOUR:VOLT:PBAS? MAX
:SOURce:VOLTage:PROTection[:STATe]
Function Sets the limiter state (ON or OFF) or queries the
current setting.
Syntax :SOURce:VOLTage:PROTection[:STATe]
1|0|ON|OFF
1 or ON = Turns the limiter ON.
0 or OFF = Turns the limiter OFF.
:SOURce:VOLTage:PROTection[:STATe]?
→ 1 = Currently ON
0 = Currently OFF
Example :SOUR:VOLT:PROT:STAT OFF
:SOUR:VOLT:PROT:STAT?
Description This command and :SOURce:CURRent:
PROTection[:STATe] are equivalent.
:SOURce:VOLTage:PROTection:LINKage
Function Sets the limiter tracking state (ON or OFF) or
queries the current setting.
Syntax :SOURce:VOLTage:PROTection:LINKage
1|0|ON|OFF
1 or ON = Turns limiter tracking ON.
0 or OFF = Turns limiter tracking OFF.
:SOURce:VOLTage:PROTection:LINKage?
→ 1 = Currently ON
0 = Currently OFF
Example :SOUR:VOLT:PROT:LINK OFF
:SOUR:VOLT:PROT:LINK?
Description This command and :SOURce:CURRent:
PROTection:LINKage are equivalent.
:SOURce:VOLTage:PROTection:ULIMit
Function Sets the upper voltage limiter value (for
generating current) or queries the current
setting.
Syntax :SOURce:VOLTage:PROTection:ULIMit
<Voltage>|MINimum|MAXimum
<Voltage> = Sets the limiter value to the
specified value.
MINimum = Sets the limiter value to the
minimum value.
MAXimum = Sets the limiter value to the
maximum value.
:SOURce:VOLTage:PROTection:ULIMit?
[MINimum|MAXimum]
No parameter = Queries the current value.
MINimum = Queries the minimum value.
MAXimum = Queries the maximum value.
→ <Voltage>
Example :SOUR:VOLT:PROT:ULIM 75.0
:SOUR:VOLT:PROT:ULIM MAX
:SOUR:VOLT:PROT:ULIM?
:SOUR:VOLT:PROT:ULIM? MAX
Description Note that the voltage limiter is activated when
the source function is set to current
(:SOURce:FUNCtion CURRent).
