Hi Ajay,

I am not familiar with the first model numbers that you mention. Can you double check them?

For the N5700 supplies, it is a standard SCPI query:
VOLT? MAX
CURR? MAX

These should return the maximum programmable values.

662xA was pre SCPI and it has a very simple programming interface. The only way you would know what the maximums are is by making a lookup table based on the model number.

Thanks.

Matt

  Hi Matt,
  
  Thanks for the reply.
  
  I was not aware of these standard queries. I couldn't find it in the N5700 series user guide.(http://cp.literature.agilent.com/litweb/pdf/5969-2917.pdf)
  
  E5280B/E5281B are the HPSMU and MPSMU that go into E5270B measurement mainframe (http://www.home.agilent.com/sec/product.jspx?nid=-33786.536895055.00&lc=eng&cc=US).

The part of Agilent that I work for does not own the E5280/E5281 but I do have a response from them:

"E5270B which is the mainframe of E5280B HPSMU or E5281B MPSMU doesn't have a query command for getting maximum voltage or current."
