VOLT[:LEVel] Channel Specific Voltage Command/Query
Description
This implied keyword specifies the value of the programmed voltage level and whether
that level is to be applied immediately or on occurrence of a trigger. If the specified
channel is in the Voltage Mode, an IMMediate voltage level is transferred to the input as
soon as the command is executed. A TRIGgered level is stored and transferred to the input
when a trigger occurs. At that time, the change to the input level occurs at the slew rate
presently in effect. Following the trigger event, subsequent triggers will not affect the input
level unless the electronic load has been sent another TRIGgered level command.
If the electronic load is not in the CV (Constant-Voltage) Mode when an IMMediate or
TRIGgered level command is sent, the programmed levels are saved for the next time the
electronic load is placed in the CV Mode. Triggered levels are processed by the Voltage
Subsystem even when the electronic load is not in the CV Mode. Thus, the TRIGered
level becomes a stored IMMediate level that takes effect when the electronic load is again
in the CV Mode.
Note
Setting an IMM voltage level to the same value as the most recent TRIG voltage level
will not deactivate a pending TRIG level. You must use ABORt to deactivate it.
