We recommend to start a program by *RST in order
to set the instrument to a defi ned status prior to
starting a program.

6.5 Examples of programming
Example 1: Setting of voltage and current
In order to set the channel 1 voltage to 2 V and a maximum
current of 0.5 A proceed as follows:
INST OUT1
VOLT 2
CURR 0.500
OUTP ON
This one possibility of programming this example; of course, it
is also possible to write the commands in full:
INSTrument:SELect OUT1
SOURce:VOLTage:LEVel:IMMediate:AMPLitude 2
