Set Output Voltage and Make Measurements from Keysight AgE3633A DC Power Supply Using IVI-C Driver
This example shows how to initialize the driver, read a few properties of the driver, set output voltage, enable all outputs and measure the output voltage, disable all outputs and measure the output voltage by using Keysight™ Technologies E3633A DC power supply and output the results in MATLAB®.

Connect to Instrument
Connect to a simulated Keysight AgE3633A Power Supply using ividev with the instrument's MATLAB driver name and resource name. This example uses the AgE36xx driver's simulation mode to run without physically connecting any hardware. Since simulation mode is enabled, the resource name can be specified as empty.
dev = ividev("AgE36xx","",Simulate=true)

Set Output Voltage
Configure the voltage of Output1 to 1.23 volts using the configureVoltageLevel function.
outputVoltage = 1.23; % Volts configureVoltageLevel(dev,"Output1",outputVoltage) fprintf("Output 1 set to: 1.23 Volts \n");
Output 1 set to: 1.23 Volts
Enable All Outputs and Measure Output Voltage
Set all outputs enable property as true.
dev.Outputs.Enabled = true;
fprintf("All outputs enabled \n");All outputs enabled
The measured voltage should be the same as the output voltage set before.
measVol = measure(dev,"Output1","MEASURE_VOLTAGE"); fprintf("Output 1 Measurement = %.4g Volts\n", measVol);
Output 1 Measurement = 1.23 Volts
Disable All Outputs and Measure Output Voltage
Set all outputs enable property as false.
dev.Outputs.Enabled = false;
Since all outputs have been disabled, the measured voltage should be 0.
measVol = measure(dev,"Output1","MEASURE_VOLTAGE"); fprintf("Output 1 Measurement = %.4g Volts\n", measVol);
Output 1 Measurement = 0 Volts
Query and Display Any Errors
If there are any errors, query the driver to retrieve and display them.
errorNum = 1; while (errorNum ~= 0) [errorNum,errorMsg] = error_query(dev); fprintf('ErrorQuery: %d, %s\n',errorNum,errorMsg); end
ErrorQuery: 0, No error.
Clean Up
Disconnect and clear the ividev object from the workspace.
