GPIB Operation
Service Service request is a uniline message asserted by the power supply at power on and Request for fault conditions. Ten (10) power supply conditions are defined as faults: CV, CC, OV, OTP, SD, FOLD, ERR, ACF, OPF, and SNSP. See “Accumulated Status, Status, and Fault Registers” on page 50 for more information. Power ON (PON) can also be
flagged in the fault register if the supply's rear panel power on service request (PON SRQ) switch is set to ON. See “Power On Service Request (PON SRQ)” on page 25.
Enabling or disabling a condition from asserting service request does not affect the condition within the power supply, nor the external status indicators.
Serial Poll In a serial poll, the controller polls each device.
Example:
ibrsp | Return serial poll byte. |
