Output Settings and Operation Commands
88 E3632A User’s Guide
CURRent:PROTection:STATe {0|1|OFF|ON}
This command enables or disables the overcurrent protection
function of the power supply. An overcurrent condition can
be cleared with the CURR:PROT:CLE command after the
condition that caused the OCP trip is removed. At *RST, this
value is set to ON.
CURRent:PROTection:STATe?
This query returns the state of the overcurrent protection
function. The returned parameter is 0 (OFF) or 1 (ON).
CURRent:PROTection:TRIPped?
This query returns a 1 if the overcurrent protection circuit
is tripped and not cleared or a 0 if not tripped.
CURRent:PROTection:CLEar
This command causes the overcurrent protection circuit to
be cleared. After this command, the output current is
restored to the state it was in before the current protection
tripped and the OCP trip level remains unchanged to the
value presently programmed. Before sending this command,
lower the output current below the trip OCP point, or raise
the OCP trip level above the output setting.
VOLTage {<voltage>|MINimum|MAXimum|UP|DOWN}
This command programs the immediate voltage level of the
power supply. The immediate level is the voltage value of the
output terminals.
The VOLTage command changes the output of the power
supply to the newly programmed value regardless of the
output range presently selected.
You can substitute MINimum or MAXimum in place of a
specific value for the voltage parameter. MIN selects the
lowest voltage values of 0 V. MAX selects the highest voltage
values allowed for the selected range.
