Description Similar SCPI
Command
VSET x
VSET xV
VSET xMV
These commands program output voltage. See Table 3-1 for the
programming ranges of these commands.
Initial condition: 0 V
VOLT
ISET x
ISET xA
ISET xMA
These commands program output current. See Table 3-1 for the
programming ranges for these commands.
Initial condition: 0 A
CURR
VSET?
ISET?
These commands read voltage or current settings.
VOLT?
CURR?
VOUT?
IOUT?
These commands measure and read output voltage or current.
MEAS:VOLT?
MEAS:CURR?
OVP x
OVP xV
OVP xMV
NOTE: OVP commands do not work with Agilent 603xA
supplies. These commands program the overvoltage protection.
The OVP setting is programmed in either volts or millivolts. See
Table 3-1 for the programming ranges of these commands.
Initial condition: 10% above rated output.
VOLT:PROT
OVP?
This command reads the OVP setting.
VOLT:PROT?
VMAX x
VMAX xV
VMAX
xMV
These commands program an upper limit (soft limit) to the voltage
programming value that the power supply will accept. The
programming ranges are the same as those used for VSET.
(None)
IMAX x
IMAX xA
IMAX
xMA
These commands program an upper limit (soft limit) to the current
programming value that the power supply will accept. The
programming ranges are the same as those used for ISET.
(None)
VMAX?
IMAX?
These commands read the soft voltage or current limits. (None)
DLY x
DLY xS
DLY xMS
These commands program the delay time before a new output
voltage or current is implemented or an RST, OUT ON, or CLR
command is received. During the delay the CV, CC, and CR
conditions cannot be reported as faults, and foldback protection is
disabled.
OUTP:PROT:DEL
DLY?
This command reads the delay time setting.
OUTP:PROT:DEL?
OUT OFF
OUT 0
OUT ON
OUT 1
These commands enable or disable the power supply output. The
disabled state programs the output to relatively low voltage and
current values. The supply will be able to implement commands
even while the output is disabled.
Initial condition: OUT ON
OUTP:STAT OFF
OUTP:STAT 0
OUTP:STAT ON
OUTP:STAT 1
FOLD OFF
FOLD CC
FOLD 2
FOLD 0
FOLD CV
FOLD 1
FOLD CC
FOLD 2
These commands enable or disable Foldback protection.
Foldback protection disables the power supply output if the power
supply switches to whichever mode (CV or CC) is defined as the
fold (error) condition. Note that foldback protection is disabled
during the DELAY period.
Initial condition: FOLD OFF
(None)
FOLD?
This command reads the Foldback setting. (None)

x = any digit (within range) MA = milliampere MV = millivolt MS = millisecond.
