If you want to disable this facility, send the command.

PON 0

If you want to find out if the power-on SRQ is enabled or disabled, send the following query:

PON ?

and address the supply to talk. The supply will respond with a 1 or 0 as discussed above.

NOTE

The power-on (PON) SRQ mode is stored in the non-volatile memory of the supply so that although the

 

supply may be switched off, it will remember the status of the last PON command at power-on and

 

respond accordingly.

Reprogramming Delay

The power supply may switch modes or become unregulated momentarily after a new output value is programmed. Because of their short duration, these cases may not ordinarily be considered a fault but the supply will recognize this deviation and generate a fault signal. To prevent this, the reprogramming delay feature is implemented.

Reprogramming delay will delay the onset of certain fault conditions and prevent the power supply from registering a fault when these conditions are true. When the delay is in effect, the CV, + CC, - CC and UNR bits of the status register are masked and cannot communicate with the mask and fault registers and the OCP function. This will prevent the supply from registering a fault should any of these bits become set during the delay period. Reprogramming delay is initiated when any of the following functions are executed:

VSET: ISET: RCL: OVRST: OCRST; OUT on/off

At power-on reprogramming delay is set to 20 mS. You can specify new values between 0 and 32 S in steps of 4 mS. If you specify a value which is not a multiple of 4 mS, the supply will round off the set value to the nearest 4 mS multiple.

To program a new value of 80 mS in output 2 for example, send the following:

DLY 2,.08

If you send a value outside the 0 to 32 S range you will get a programming error. You may use the programming response times in the specifications table to give you an idea of a typical delay setting. However, the appropriate delay setting will also depend on load capacitance, load resistance, and current limit setting. See page 51 for output capacitor considerations.

To query the reprogramming delay setting of a particular output channel, send the following query:

DLY? 2 (using output 2 as an example)
