[SOURce:]VOLTage:RANGe

This command limits the maximum voltage that can be

programmed on the power supply. This command corresponds to

the front-panel Max Voltage setting that can be found under the

Protection submenu. This function is different from OVP, since it

cannot turn the output off.

Syntax

[SOURce:]VOLTage:RANGe {<voltage>|MIN|MAX|DEF}

[SOURce:]VOLTage:RANGe?

Commands

[SOURce:]VOLTage:PROTection[:LEVel] (on page 4-26)

[SOURce:]VOLTage:PROTection:STATe (on page 4-27)

Arguments

where:

<NRf> is a flexible decimal that sets the maximum output voltage,

ranging from 0 to the maximum nameplate voltage

<units>::={V|mV|kV}

MIN: sets the voltage limit to the minimum value (0 V).

MAX: sets the voltage limit to the maximum value which is slightly

higher than the maximum nameplate voltage.

DEF: sets the voltage limit to the default value, which equals MAX.

Returns

<NR2> is the voltage limit in volts.

Examples

VOLT:RANG 3.2V

VOLT:RANG? might return 3.2, which would be the maximum

programmable voltage in volts.
