7. Measure the output voltage and current with the external instruments.

8. Ensure that the actual values of the output parameters are within

specifications of the programmed values.

9. Query the values of the output parameters with the following commands:

MEAS[1000+n1]:VOLT?

MEAS[1000+n1]:CURR?

10. Ensure that the readback values of the output parameters are within

specifications of the actual values.

11. Repeat for high range

12. Turn off the output with the following command:

*RST[n]

1. Before attempting to verify multi-phase operation, perform the power-on

test of the individual modules per the section, Power-On Check, and then
the standalone operation test per section, Standalone Configuration.

2. Connect the outputs for multi-phase operation per the section, Parallel

Configuration. Ensure that the outputs and remote sense are
appropriately hardwired prior to issuing any of the multi-phase SCPI
commands.

3. Connect appropriate instrumentation for measuring the output voltage

and current, as well as a load.

4. Configure the modules into a multi-phase group with the following

command, where [n1] is the master module of the group. Although the
example is for three modules, it could be extended to a greater number
by listing additional parameter slot numbers, [n]. (up to 6 modules).

SYST:GRO:CAT:PHASE [n1],[n2],[n3]

5. Verify that the multi-phase group has been properly set up with the

following command. The response to the query is a listing of the master
module in the series group. For example, a group of modules with a
master in slot 4 and a slave in slot 8 would return the parameter,1004.
The parameter, [1000+n1], is the sum of 1000 and the slot number of
the master module.
