Programming DC Output
■
Setting the DC voltage
The output voltage is controlled with the VOLTage:OFFSet command. First, set the
voltage range.
VOLTage:RANGe 150 'Sets the voltage range to L
VOLTage:OFFSet 40 'Sets the DC voltage to 40 V
OUTPut ON 'Turns the output on
The voltage range cannot be changed when the output is on. The DC voltage can be
changed when the output is on.
■
Setting the DC voltage limits
The maximum DC voltage value varies depending on the voltage range setting. Fur-
ther, the maximum and minimum DC voltage values may vary depending on the limit
settings.
VOLTage:RANGe 150 'Sets the voltage range to L
VOLTage:OFFSet:LIMit:UPPer MAX 'Sets the upper voltage limit to the maximum
VOLTage:OFFSet:LIMit:LOWer MIN 'Sets the lower voltage limit to the minimum
VOLTage:OFFSet 40 'Sets the DC voltage to 40 V
In the above example, the limits are set to the maximum so that any DC voltage with-
in the range can be specified.
For the DC voltage, specify the voltage range using an AC voltage expression. The
DC voltage setting range is 219.0 V for the L range and 438.0 V for the H range.

Query
To query the maximum or minimum value, include the MINimum or MAXimum param-
eter in the query as shown below.
VOLTage:OFFSet? MINimum
VOLTage:OFFSet? MAXimum
