Power supply programming ranges
The SOURce subsystem requires parameters for programming
values. The available programming value for a parameter
varies according to the desired output range of the power
supply. Table 3- 2 lists the programming values available and
the MINimum, MAXimum, DEFault, and reset values of your
power supply.
Refer to Table 3- 2 to identify the programming values when
programming the power supply.
Table 3 - 2 Agilent E3632A programming ranges
0 to 15 V /7 A range 0 to 30 V /4 A range
Voltage Programming range 0 V to 15.45 V 0 V to 30.90 V
MAX value 15.45 V 30.90 V
MIN value 0 V
DEFault value 0 V
*RST value 0 V
Current Programming range 0 A to 7.21 A 0 A to 4.12 A
MAX value 7.21 A 4.12 A
MIN value 0 A
DEFault value 7 A 4 A
*RST value 7 A
