Voltage Programming Commands
Note that most of the voltage programming commands are phase specific so in three or split
phase mode, each phase voltage can be individually programmed. This is done by appending
1, 2 or 3 for the “#” symbol shown in the syntax below. If the “#” value is omitted, all
available phase (1, 2 or 3 in single, split or three phase mode respectively) will be set to the
same amplitude. This allows the same program code to be used for any phase mode as long
as the phase amplitudes need to be balanced.
The following command sets each phase to a different amplitude when in three phase
mode.
SOUR:VOLT:AC1 15;:SOUR:VOLT:AC2 30;:SOURCE:VOLT:AC3 45
This command sets all phases to the same amplitude, regardless of phase mode:
SOUR:VOLT:AC 100
The query format for these phase specific commands will return the value for the phase
number appended to the command. If the phase number reference is omitted, the setting
for phase 1 (A) is returned.
