Using the APPLy Command
E3632A User’s Guide 83
Using the APPLy Command
The APPLy command provides the most straightforward
method to program the power supply over the remote
interface. You can select the output voltage and current in
one command.
APPLy {<voltage>| DEF | MIN | MAX}[,{<current>| DEF |
MIN | MAX}]
This command is a combination of VOLTage and CURRent
commands. As long as the newly programmed values are
within the presently selected range, the output voltage and
current are changed as soon as the command is executed.
The APPLy command changes the power supply’s output to
the newly programmed values only if the programmed values
are valid within the presently selected range. An execution
error will occur if the programmed values are not valid
within the selected range.
You can substitute MINimum, MAXimum, or DEFault in place
of a specific value for the voltage and current parameters.
MIN selects the lowest values of 0 V and 0 A. MAX selects
the highest values allowed for the selected range.
The default values of voltage and current are 0 V and 7 A
regardless of the presently selected range. For more details
of parameters, refer to Table 3- 2 for each model.
If you specify only one parameter of the APPLy command,
the power supply regards it as the voltage setting value.
