10! APPLICATION #4: PROVIDING TIME-VARYING VOLTAGES

20! PROGRAM: APP_4

30!

40	ASSIGN Slot0 TO 70500	!	SELECT CODE 7, MAINFRAME ADDRESS 05, SLOT 00
50	!

60! INITIALIZE THE MODULE

70!

80	OUTPUT @Slot0;"RST;CLS;STATUS:PRESET"	!	RESET AND CLEAR MODULE
90	OUTPUT @Slot0;”VOLT 0”	!	START TEST AT 0 V
100	OUTPUT @Slot0;”CURR .1”	!	SET CURRENT LIMIT
110	OUTPUT @Slot0;”OUTPUT ON"	!	ENABLE OUTPUT
120	!

130! SET UP OVERCURRENT PROTECTION (OCP) AND GENERATE SRQ ON OCP TRIP

140!

150	OUTPUT @Slot0;”CURRENT:PROTECTION:STATE ON"	!	ENABLE OCP
160	OUTPUT @Slot0;”OUTPUT:PROTECTION:DELAY 0”	!	NO DELAY BEFORE PROTECTION OCCURS
170	OUTPUT @Slot0;”STATUS:QUESTIONABLE:ENABLE 2”	!	ENABLE DETECTION OF OC CONDITION IN THE
180		!	QUESTIONABLE REGISTER, WHERE OC = BIT 1 = VALUE 2.
190	OUTPUT @Slot0;”STATUS:QUESTIONABLE:PTRANSITION 2”	!	ENABLES DETECTION ON POSITIVE TRANSITION, I.E.,
			GOING INTO OC.
200	OUTPUT @Slot0;"*SRE 8”	!	ENABLES THE SERVICE REQUEST REGISTER TO GENERATE
210		! AN SRQ WHEN ANY EVENT IN THE QUESTIONABLE REGISTER
220		! IS ASSERTED. THE QUESTIONABLE REGISTER = BIT 3= VALUE 8.
230	!

240! SET UP THE VOLTAGE LIST

250!

260	OUTPUT @Slot0;”VOLT:MODE LIST"	!	SET TO GET VOLTAGE FROM LIST
270	OUTPUT @Slot0;”LIST:VOLT 5,7,0”	!	DOWNLOAD VOLTAGE POINTS
280	OUTPUT @Slot0;”LIST:DWELL 1,2,30”	!	DOWNLOAD DWELL TIMES
290	OUTPUT @Slot0;’LIST:STEP AUTO"	!	DWELL-PACED LIST
300	OUTPUT @Slot0;”LIST:COUNT INF"	!	CONTINUOUSLY REPEAT LIST (INF = INFINITE)
310	OUTPUT @Slot0;”INITIATE"	!	ENABLE TRIGGER TO START LIST

320!

330!

340! BEFORE TRIGGERING THE MODULE, DETERMINE IF IT IS READY BY CHECKING FOR

350! 'WAITING FOR TRIGGER' (BIT 5 OF THE OPERATION STATUS REGISTER).

370! YOU COULD ELIMINATE THIS STEP BY SIMPLY INSERTING A PAUSE IN THE PROGRAM. HOWEVER, BY

380! CHECKING THE INSTRUMENT STATUS, YOU CAN AVOID TIMING PROBLEMS. ALSO, ANY OTHER OPERATIONS

390! THAT TAKE TIME WILL GIVE TNE MODULE A CHANCE TO COMPLETE PROCESSING.

400!

410REPEAT

420OUTPUT @Slot0;”STATUS:OPERATION:CONDITION?"

430ENTER @Slot0;Condition_data

440	UNTIL BIT(Condition_data,5)	!	TEST FOR BIT 5 = TRUE
450	!

460! SEND Agilent -1B TRIGGER COMMAND TO START LIST

470!

480	OUPUT @Slot0;”TRIGGER:IMMEDIATE"	!	THIS IS AN IMMEDIATE TRIGGER, WHICH IS ALWAYS ACTIVE.
490		!	THEREFORE, IT DOES NOT NEED TO BE SELECTED AS A TRIGGER
			SOURCE.
