Where,
<value> is the NR1, NR2 or NR3 format
MIN Sets or returns the minimum oscillator curren t lev el
(50 A)
MAX Sets or returns the maximum oscillator curren t lev el
(When Hi-PW mo de is OFF: 20mA
When Hi-PW mo de is ON :200mA)
In case of ALC ON, this command sets to ALC OFF
and sets the maximum oscillator curren t lev el.
Note
A sux m ultiplier and a sux unit, A (amp ere), can b e used with
this command. If this query is receiv ed when the oscillator lev el set
to a curren t lev el, error 0230 Data corrupt or stale will o ccur.
Example
OUTPUT 717;"CURR 10MA" ! Set to 10 mA
OUTPUT 717;"CURR MAX" ! Set to 20 mA
