EXAMPLE: Program a unit with no load at the output to change its output voltage and
current to 5 VDC @ 1A at the same time.
// Use SYST:ERR? after each command to verify no programming errors.
// turn on the unit.
*CLS
// clear the unit to its power-on default settings.
*RST
// reset the unit.
SOUR:CURR:TRIG1.0
// program output current to 1.0 A upon trigger.
SOUR:CURR:TRIG?
// confirm output current set to 1.0 A upon trigger.
SOUR:VOLT:TRIG5.0
// program output voltage to 5.0 VDC upon trigger
SOUR:VOLT:TRIG?
// confirm output current set to 5.0 VDC upon trigger.
MEAS:CURR?
// measure the actual output current (response: 0.0).
MEAS:VOLT?
// measure the actual output voltage (response: 0.0).
TRIG:TYPE 3
// trigger the unit to implement curr and volt programming.
MEAS:CURR?
// measure the actual output current (response: ~ 0. 0 with no
load on output).
MEAS:VOLT?
// measure the actual output voltage (response: ~ 5.0).
TRIG:ABORT
// turn off trigger mode.
EXAMPLE: Program a unit with no load at the output to ramp its output voltage from 5
VDC to 25 VDC in 30 seconds.
Note: The maximum output voltage is dependent upon the power supply rating.
// Use SYST:ERR? after each command to verify no programming errors.
// turn on the unit.
*CLS
// clear the unit to its power-on default settings.
*RST
// reset the unit.
SOUR:CURR 33.0
// program output current to 33.0 A.
SOUR:VOLT 5.0
// program output voltage to 5.0 VDC.
SOUR:VOLT:RAMP 25.0 30.0
// program voltage to ramp from the present
// value (5.0 VDC) to 25.0 VDC in 30 seconds.
EXAMPLE: Program a unit with the output shorted to ramp its output current from 5A to
25A in 30 seconds.
// Use SYST:ERR? after each command to verify no programming errors.
// turn on with no load at the output.
*CLS
// clear the unit to its power-on default settings.
*RST
// reset the unit.
// short the output.
SOUR:VOLT 33.0
// program output voltage to 33.0 VDC.
SOUR:CURR 5.0
// program output current to 5.0 A.
SOUR:CURR:RAMP 25.0 30.0
// program current to ramp from the present
// value (5.0 A) to 25.0 A in 30 seconds.
