Selecting the output type (Vsupply only) ← Configuring the DC power output
The supply voltage output (V
supply
) supports variable voltages and variable current. For
this output, you can select whether you want to control the output in terms of current or
voltage.
When you select "Voltage", you can define the output in terms of the voltage that is
supplied. The supplied current is adjusted accordingly (up to the maximum current you
have allowed).
When you select "Current", you can define the output in terms of the current that is
supplied. The supplied voltage is adjusted accordingly (up to the maximum voltage you
have allowed).
The other outputs are already limited regarding the output current; only the voltage is
variable for these outputs.
Note:
When you switch between "Voltage" and "Current", DC output is turned off as a
precaution. You have to

Defining the output level ← Configuring the DC power output
For all three outputs, you can control the voltage that should be output to supply the
DUT or other devices. The supported voltage range is different for each output (see
data sheet for details).
In addition to the hardware limits regarding the range of output values, you can also
define soft limits. These soft limits limit the output to a range that suits your needs.
They thus help you to avoid accidentally defining an output level that is too high for the
DUT you are testing.
Note that when you change the output voltage while a measurement is running, this
measurement is aborted and restarted.
Controlling the supply current for the V

output
For the supply voltage output (V
supply
), you can select whether you want to control the
output in terms of current or voltage (
➙
If you select output type "Voltage", you can define the output level and limits in terms of
voltage (the current is adjusted, if necessary).
If you select output type "Current", you can define the output level and limits in terms of
current (the voltage is adjusted, if necessary) . In that case, the range defining the soft
limits are also defined in terms of current.
In addition, you can define the maximum output current (or voltage) that is supplied in
the "Max Curr / Volt" field.
