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 combination of VOLTage and CURRent commands.
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. For more details of parameters,
see Table 4-1 for each model.
If you specify only one parameter of the
APPLy
command, the power supply regards
it as voltage setting value.
APPLy?
Query the power supply’s present voltage and current setting values and returns a
quoted string. The voltage and current are returned in sequence as shown in the sample
string below (the quotation marks are returned as part of the string).
