MEASure[:SCALar]:CURRent[:DC]?
QUERY
MEAS:CURR?
Syntax: Short Form: MEAS[:SCAL]:CURR[:DC]? Long Form: MEASure[:SCALar]:CURRent[:DC]?
Return Value: (digits with decimal point and Exponent)
Description: Measures actual current. This query returns the actual value of output current (measured at the out-
put terminals) as determined by the programmed value of voltage and current and load conditions.
NOTE: The SCPI convention for this command allows the controller to establish the range and accu-
racy of the measurement if nn,nn is added after the question mark; the power supply accepts this for-
mat but sets the command warning bit (13) in the status questionable register and ignores the extra
characters. (See example, Figure B-1.)
B.39
MEASure[:VOLTage][:SCALar][:DC]?
QUERY
MEAS:VOLT?
Syntax: Short Form: MEAS[:SCAL]:VOLT[:DC]? Long Form: MEASure[:SCALar]:VOLTage[:DC]?
Description: Measures actual voltage. This query returns the actual value of output voltage (measured at the out-
put terminals) as determined by the programmed value of voltage and current and load conditions.
NOTE: The SCPI convention for this command allows the controller to establish the range and accu-
racy of the measurement if nn,nn is added after the question mark; the power supply accepts this for-
mat but sets the command warning bit (13) in the status questionable register and ignores the extra
characters. (See example, Figure B-1.)
B.40
OUTPut[:STATe]
COMMAND
OUTP
Syntax: Short Form: OUTP[:STAT] Long Form: OUTPut[:STATe]
=(0 or OFF, 1 or ON)
Description: Enables or disables the power supply output. Upon power up the output is enabled (OUTP ON).
When OUTP OFF is executed, the programmed values of voltage and current are saved, then voltage
and current are programmed to 0. When OUTP ON is executed, the power supply output is restored to
the previously saved programmed values. The saved values of voltage and current can be viewed by
VOLT? and CURR? queries. Related Commands: OUTP?. (See example, Figure B-1.)
B.41
OUTPut[:STATe]
QUERY
OUTP?
Syntax: Short Form: OUTP[:STAT]? Long Form: OUTPut[:STATe]?
Return Value: (0 or 1)
Description: Indicates whether power supply output is enabled or disabled. Returns 0 if output disabled,
returns 1 if output enabled. Related Commands: OUTP. (See example, Figure B-1.)
B.42
OUTPut:PROTection:DELay
COMMAND
OUTP:PROT:DEL
Syntax: Short Form: OUTP:PROT:DEL Long Form: OUTPut:PROTection:DELay
where n.n = seconds
Description: Delays tripping of overvoltage/overcurrent protection. The overvoltage and overcurrent protection
can be programmed to trip immediately upon detection of an overvoltage/overcurrent condition, or can
be delayed approximately 8 seconds. This delay is set in increments of 0.033 milliseconds If delay is
programmed, overcurrent/overvoltage protection trips only if condition still present at end of delay. A
count of 0 means no delay, the maximum delay possible is 8.50 seconds.
B.43
OUTPut:PROTection:DELay
QUERY
OUTP:PROT:DEL?
Syntax: Short Form: OUTP:PROT:DEL? Long Form: OUTPut:PROTection:DELay?
Return Value:
Description: Returns value of overvoltage/overcurrent delay. A count of 0 means no delay, The maximum value
is 8.5. The delay constants are set in -.033 milliseconds per internal value. Related Commands:
OUTP:PROT:DEL. (See example, Figure B-5.)
B.44
PROGram:SELect:STATe
COMMAND
PROG:SEL:STAT
Syntax: Short Form: PROG:SEL:STAT {RUN | STOP}
Long Form: PROGram:SELect:STATe {RUN | STOP}
