8. Parameters and settings

8.1. Programming parameters

The PSU firmware can be used to control its channels with various characteristics. For example, the voltage range could be set from 0 to 30 V, 0 to 40 V or 0 to 50 V, and the current range could vary from 0 to 3.12 A, 0 to 4.16 A or 0 to 5 A. It’s also possible to mix two channels with different voltage and current ranges e.g. 0 – 40 V/0 – 5 A and 0 – 50 V/0 – 3.12 A. Use the *IDN? command to find out what channels are defined in the PSU’s firmware.
