Programming the Output
Select an Output Channel
Front Panel: SCPI Command:
Press the Channel key to select an
output channel.
Enter the selected channel(s) in the
command’s parameter list. (@1,2)
Set the Output Voltage
Front Panel: SCPI Command:
Press the Voltage key.
Enter a value and press Select.
To set output 1 to 5 V:
VOLT 5,(@1)
To set all outputs to 10 V:
VOLT 10,(@1:4)
For models with multiple ranges, you can select a lower range if you
need better output resolution.
Front Panel: SCPI Command:
Press the Voltage key.
Select a lower range and press
Select.
To select the lower range, program a
value that falls within the range:
VOLT:RANG 5,(@1)
Set the Voltage Slew Rate
NOTE
The ability to program the voltage slew rate is only available on power system
mainframes with firmware revision B.00.00 and up.
Front Panel: SCPI Command:
Select Output\Slew
Enter a slew rate in the Voltage
Slew Rate field. Enter the value in
volts/second. Check MAX to
program the fastest slew rate.
To set the slew rate to 5 V/s
VOLT:SLEW 5,(@1)
To set the fastest slew rate:
VOLT:SLEW MAX,(@1)
When MAXimum, INFinity, or very large values are selected, the slew
rate will be limited by the analog performance of the output circuit.
Also, the slowest or minimum slew rate is a function of the full-scale
voltage range. For a model with a 50 V range, the minimum slew rate
is about 4.76 V/s. For other voltage ranges the minimum slew rate is
proportional to this value, so for a model with a 5 V range the
minimum slew rate is about 0.476 V/s.
