Command Description SCPI
[:AMPLitude] <NRf> Sets the value of the output voltage to be
implemented by the trigger. For DLM600 Series
firmware versions 1.07 and later, the polarity
relay must be in the correct position per the
algebraic sign of the voltage to be triggered. The
state of the polarity relay may be set using the
OUTP:POL <
NORM | INV > command if it is not
already in the correct position. Do this before the
trigger command is issued.
For DLM600 Series firmware versions 1.06 and
earlier, the algebraic sign of the trigger voltage
determines the state of the polarity relay before
the voltage is triggered. Therefore, the user load
could be exposed to an unintended reverse
polarity voltage if the pre-trigger voltage had an
opposite algebraic sign from the trigger voltage.
For a pre-trigger voltage of zero, the above
consideration is not an issue.
C
:LIMit Sets the upper soft limit on the programmed
output voltage. C
[:AMPLitude] <NRf> Sets the upper soft limit on the programmed
output voltage. C
:PROTection Sets the overvoltage protection trip point in volts
(default) or in millivolts. C
[:LEVel] <NRf> Sets the overvoltage protection trip point in volts
(default) or in millivolts. C
:TRIPped? Returns the integer value 1(TRIPPED) or 0
(UNTRIPPED) state of the overvoltage
protection. C
:STATe? Returns the integer value 1 (ON) or 0 (OFF)
state of the overvoltage protection. C
:RAMP <NRf> <0+NRf> Sets the output voltage to ramp from the present
value to the specified value (first argument) in
the specified time (second argument). See Ramp
Function description below. N
:ABORt Aborts ramping and clears trigger mode.
:ALL? Returns the ramping status of all channels.
:TRIGgered <NRf>
<0+NRf> Sets the output voltage to ramp from the present
value to the specified value (first argument) in
the specified time (second argument) upon the
trigger command. See description of the Ramp
Function below. N
*Note: For DLM600 Series firmware versions 1.07 and later, the algebraic sign of the
voltage value must match the state of the polarity relay, otherwise an error message
will be generated, and the voltage command will be ignored. If the voltage value
entered is positive, then the polarity relay must be in the NORM state (query the
state of the polarity relay using the OUTP:POL? query command). If the voltage
value entered is negative, then the polarity relay must be in the INV state. For
DLM600 Series firmware versions 1.06 and earlier, the algebraic sign caused the
