Programming DC Output
DC Voltage
Setting the DC voltage
The DC output voltage is controlled with the VOLTage:OFFSet command. Prior to
programming the output, it is recommended that the appropriate output mode and voltage
range be selected.
The following is an example using the PCR-M.
DC 'Sets the output mode to DC mode
135 'Sets the voltage range to the 135V range
40 'Sets the DC voltage to 40 V
ON 'Turns the output on
Once the power supply output is enabled (turned on), output mode and voltage range
settings cannot be changed. On the other hand, the VOLTage:OFFSet setting can always be
changed while the output is on.
Setting the DC voltage limit
The maximum allowable value for VOLTage:OFFSet also varies depending on the
VOLTage:RANGe setting. The minimum and maximum allowable values for VOLTage:OFFSet
command may vary depending on the VOLTage:OFFSet:LIMit settings.
135 'Sets the voltage range to the 135V range
MAX 'Sets the voltage upper limit to 388 V
MIN 'Sets the voltage lower limit to -388 V
40 'Sets the DC voltage to 40 V
Above example expands the upper/lower limits to the widest span allowing the
VOLTage:OFFSet to be set to any value within the given range.
When the VOLTage:RANGe is set to 135 V, VOLTage:OFFSet setting cannot /-194.0
V. The VOLTage:RANGe specifies the voltage range using the AC voltage expression. The
allowable DC voltage range for the 135 V range is +/-194.0 V, and that for the 270 V range
is +/-388.0 V.
By
default, the :VOLTage:OFFSet:LIMit:LOWer setting is not set to its MINimum. It is
set to 0 for operational safety.
Query
To query the maximum and minimum allowed values for the VOLTage:OFFSet command,
use the query with the MINimum and/or MAXimum parameters.
:VOLTage:OFFSet? MINimum
:VOLTage:OFFSet? MAXimum
