MEASure:VOLTage?
This query returns the AC rms voltage being sourced at the output terminals. Note that the
output relay must be closed or 0 volts will exist at the terminals.

14.2.2 Source Subsystem
This subsystem programs all the output parameters of the P Series AC source.
Subsystem Syntax
[SOURce:]
CURRent:
Set the rms current limit in amps.
VOLTage:
[LEVel]
Set the rms output voltage value in volts.
RANGe:
Set the output voltage range.
FREQuency:
Set the output frequency value in Hz.
CURRent
This command sets the rms current limit of the output. If the output current exceeds this limit,
the output latches into a disabled state when current limiting occurs. The output voltage
programming is reset to zero when this condition occurs and the output relay state is set to
OFF.
Note that the CURRent command is coupled with the VRANGe. This means that the maximum
current limit that can be programmed at a given time depends on the voltage range setting in
which the unit is presently operating.
