load on output).
MEAS2:VOLT?
// measure the actual output voltage of channel 2 (response: ~ 10.0).
SOUR3:CURR 7.0
// program output current of channel 3 to 7.0 A.
SOUR3:CURR?
// confirm the output current setting of channel 3 (response: 7.0).
SOUR3:VOLT 15.0
// program output voltage of channel 3 to 15.0 VDC.
SOUR3:VOLT?
// confirm the output voltage setting of channel 3 (response: 15.0).
OUTP3:STAT 1
// program the output state of channel 3 enabled (1).
OUTP3:STAT?
// confirm the output state of channel 3 (response: 1).
MEAS3:CURR?
// measure the actual output current of channel 3 (response: ~ 0.0 with no
load on output).

OVP Setup Example
Program a unit with no load at the output to generate a GPIB service request upon an
overvoltage protection trip condition. (Must use GPIB not RS232.)
// Use
SYST<n>:ERR?
after each command to verify no programming errors.
// assure that PON is not selected on the rear panel switch.
// Turn on the unit.
*CLS
// clear the unit to its power-on default settings.
*RST
// reset the unit.
SOUR1:VOLT:PROT 4.0
// program the channel 1 OVP trip point to 4.0 VDC.
SOUR1:VOLT:PROT?
// confirm the OVP trip point setting (response: 4.0).
SOUR1:CURR 1.0
// program channel 1 output current to 1.0 A.
SOUR1:VOLT 3.0
// program channel 1 output voltage to 3.0 VDC.
CAL1:UNLOCK “6867”
// Unlock overvoltage simulation of channel 1.
*SRE 2
// enable the GPIB service request upon a fault.
*SRE?
// confirm the GPIB service request enabled (response 2).
STAT1:PROT:EVENT?
// confirm no faults occurred for channel 1 (response: 0).
// confirm that the fault led is not active.
SOUR1:VOLT 4.0
// program channel 1 output voltage to 4.0 VDC - cause OVP trip!
// confirm that unit issued a GPIB service request (use a serial poll).
