NOTES:

1.Output channels 3 and 4 are not used in all models. (See Table 5-4).

2.Applies to 80 W Low V output.

3.Applies to 40 W High V and 80 W High V outputs.

4.’’X’’ depends upon model.

5.A space is returned for a + sign.

6.All responses are followed by a < CR > and < LF > (EOI asserted with < LF > ).

7.Spaces are allowed between the header and the question mark.

Order of Execution

When you send a set of instructions to the power supply, they are executed in the order in which they are received. The power supply completes the execution of the present command before executing another command. To send more than one command within the power supply command string, use a semicolon to separate the commands. This maximizes the rate at which the power supply accepts commands.

Terminators

Terminators mark the end of a command string. As shown in Figure 5-2, the semicolon, line feed < LF >, and carriage return line feed < CR > < LF > are the characters that indicate the end of a message to the power supply. When you are using the Agilent Series 200 computer with BASIC to send a command using the standard format (see Figure 5-1), the computer automatically sends < CR > < LF > on the data bus following the command.

Initial Conditions

Immediately after power on, the power supply automatically undergoes a self-test and sets all parameters to their initial values. Table 5-3 lists the parameters and their initial values.

Power Supply Commands

This section discusses the commands which you will use to program the supply’s voltage and current, protection circuits, and enhanced features like storage and recall registers, and reprogramming delay. When programming, you should be aware that the current, voltage and overvoltage ranges for each output of your supply may differ. Table 5-4 shows these values for the power supply. If you send values out of these ranges, you will get a number range error. A summary of all commands appears in Appendix C.
