Operating instructions

Language Dictionary

The present voltage level changes to the pending level on any of the following conditions:

■ On a TRIG[:IMM] command (always).

■ On receipt of an external trigger signal (if TRIG:SOUR is set to EXT).

■ On the next line voltage cycle (if TRIG:SOUR is set to LINE).

■ On receipt of *TRG (unless TRIG:SOUR is set to HOLD).

■ On receipt of a GPIB <GET> (if TRIG:SOUR is set to BUS).

■ On the next trigger timer pulse (if multiple electronic load is set to TRIG:SOUR

TIM).

Command Syntax

VOLTage[:LEVel][:IMMediate] <NRf+>

VOLTage[:LEVel]:TRIGgered <NRf+>

Parameters

See Table 4-1 and the Operating Manual of the electronic load model.

Status and Errors

TRlGgered level commands affect the WTG bit in the Operation Condition register and

the OPC bit in the Standard Event Status Event register (refer to Chapter 5 - Status

Reporting).

Examples

VOLT 25 Immediate commands for 25-volt input.

VOLTAGE: LEVEL 25

VOLT:TRIG 25MV Commands for 25 mV input on occurrence of

VOLTAGE:LEVEL; TRIGGERED 25E-3 trigger.

VOLT 12; :VOLT:TRIG MIN Set input to 12 volts now and minimum voltage when

trigger occurs.

Query Syntax

VOLT? VOLT? MAX VOLT? MIN

VOLT:TRIG? VOLT:TRIG? MAX VOLT:TRIG? MIN

Returned Parameters

<NR3> VOLT? and VOLT:TRIG? return the presently programmed voltage levels.

After a trigger or ABORt, VOLT:TRIG? returns the same value as VOLT?.

VOLT? MAX, VOLT? MIN, VOLT:TRIG? MAX,and VOLT:TRIG? MIN

return the maximum and minimum programmable LEVel and TLEVel values

for the present range.

VOLT:SLEW Channel-Specific Voltage Command/Query

Description

This command sets the voltage programming slew rate and the resistance programming

slew rate for lowest CR range. The programmed slew rate remains in effect for all

programmed voltage changes except INPut ON or OFF. The hardware implements

discrete slew rates (refer to the electronic load Operating Manual) and automatically

selects the one that is closest to the programmed value. To determine the actual value, use

the query VOLT:SLEW?.
