Power-On Service Request (PON)

The power supply can request service from the controller when the power is turned on. This request can be enabled or disabled by sending a PON command (see page 80). When the request is enabled, the supply can generate an SRQ at power-on or when there is a momentary loss in power. You can execute a serial poll to clear the service request. Table 5-7 details the conditions under which a PON command will generate an SRQ.

Note	The power supply has a non-volatile memory in which it stores certain system variables. Some of these
	variables are the calibration constants, the present supply address, and the present setting of the PON
	command.

The following paragraphs describe the syntax of the device command that is used to program your power supply. As shown in Figure 5-1, the device command is a specific part of the program statement that your computer will accept. The first part of the statement is computer as well as programming language specific. Figure 5-1 shows the structure of a typical programming statement for an Agilent Series 200/300 computer. If you are using a different computer or programming language, refer to your computer programming manual to determine the correct syntax for this portion of the program statement. This section of the manual is only concerned with the device command portion (the part inside the quotes for Series 200/300 computers with BASIC) of the program statement.
