40
can set the output current value of the specified supply. For the setting range, please
consult the relevant current parameters listed in the table of “Programming Ranges
and Output Identifiers” section.
When the voltage and current are set, the “
DEF|MIN|MAX
” represents the default
value, the minimum value and the maximum value respectively.
For example:
APPLY 5.0,2.5 Set the supply to an output of 5.0V rated at 2.5A
Executing the low-level commands has the same effect as this
command. Please refer to the last section.
APPLy?
This command queries and returns the power supply’s present voltage and current
values for each output. For example:
APPLy? Query and return the voltage and the current set values of power
supply.
Output Setting and Operation Commands
This section describes the low-level commands used to program the output of power
supply. Although the APPLy command provides the most straightforward method to
program the output of power supply, the low-level commands give you more
flexibility to change individual parameters, which include output selection commands,
measurement commands, output on/off and tracking operation commands and output
setting commands.
Measurement Commands
MEASure:CURRent[:DC]?
This command measures and returns the current value at the present output terminals
of the power supply. The physical outputs of measurement are specified by the output
identifier. If any output identifier is not specified, the current of the selected output is
returned.
MEASure:VOLTage[:DC]?
This command measures and returns the voltage value at the present output terminals
of the power supply. The physical outputs of measurement are specified by the output
identifier. If any output identifier is not specified, the voltage of the currently selected
output is returned.
