<value>
The source amplitude:
Voltage: 0 to 20 V
Current: 0.1 to 6.1 A
Details
This command sets the output level of the voltage or current source. If the output is on, the new level
is sourced immediately.
Sending the
:VOLT? MAX
command returns 20 V.
Example
:VOLT 20
:CURR 1.2
Set the voltage source to 20 V and limit the current to
1.2 A.
