Example
The following program segments show how to use the VOLT
UP or VOLT DOWN command to increase or decrease the
output voltage with the VOLT:STEP command.
VOLTage:TRIGgered
{<voltage>|MINimum|MAXimum}
This command programs the pending triggered voltage level.
The pending triggered voltage level is a stored value that is
transferred to the output terminals when a trigger occurs. A
pending triggered level is not affected by subsequent
VOLTage commands.
VOLTage:TRIGgered? [MINimum|MAXimum]
This query returns the triggered voltage level presently
programmed. If no triggered level is programmed, the VOLT
level is returned. VOLT:TRIG? MAX and VOLT:TRIG? MIN
return the highest and lowest programmable triggered
voltage levels.
VOLTage:PROTection
{<voltage>|MINimum|MAXimum}
This command sets the voltage level at which the overvoltage
protection (OVP) circuit will trip. If the peak output voltage
exceeds the OVP level, then the power supply output is
shorted by an internal SCR. The Questionable Status register
“OV” bit is set (refer to “SCPI status system” on page 108).
An overvoltage condition can be cleared with the
VOLT:PROT:CLE command after the condition that caused
the OVP trip is removed.
VOLT:STEP 0.01 Set the step size to 0.01 V.
VOLT UP Increase the output voltage.
VOLT:STEP 0.02 Set the step size to 0.02 V.
VOLT DOWN Decrease the output voltage.
