PWR-01 Interface Manual
If you want to set the OVP or OCP setting to the maximum or minimum value, you
can specify MAXimum or MINimum for the parameter.
VOLTage:PROTection MAXimum
'Set the OVP to the maximum value
CURRent:PROTection MAXimum
'Set the OCP to the maximum value
The output turns off if an OVP or OCP function is activated.
Eliminate the cause of the alarm, and clear the alarm.
OUTPut:PROTection:CLEar

Measurement
After you have set the output and protection function settings, query the measured
values. The PWR-01 can return the measured voltage and the measured current.
To measure the voltage and current, use the following queries.
MEASure:VOLTage?
'Query the voltage output
MEASure:CURRent?
'Query the current output
The measured voltage and the measured current are updated alternately at 25 ms
intervals. The output status is updated alternately at 50 ms intervals. If you query
the measured value or the output status at an interval shorter than 50 ms, the pre-
vious measured value will be returned.
Using Triggers to Change Settings (TRANsient)
PWR-01 has two different trigger subsystems -TRANsient, and PROGram.
The TRANsient group changes the PWR-01 settings.
You can use triggers to synchronize the setting of the voltage and current. This
is convenient if you want to synchronize output changes with the action of other
instruments such as electronic loads. To reserve triggered settings, use the VOLT-
age:TRIGgered and CURRent:TRIGgered commands.
VOLTage 12.0
'Set the voltage to 12.0 V
CURRent 1.5
'Set the current to 1.5 A
VOLTage:TRIGgered 13.5
'Set the PWR-01 so that the voltage is 13.5 V
when triggered
CURRent:TRIGgered 2.5
'Set the PWR-01 so that the current is 2.5 A when
triggered
TRIGger:SOURce BUS
'Set the trigger source to BUS
