The Clear Command

This command will return the power supply to its power-on state and all parameters are returned to their initial power-on values except for the following:

1.The store/recall registers are not cleared.

2.The power supply remains addressed to listen.

3.The PON bit in the serial poll register is cleared

To clear the power supply, send the following command:

CLR

Status Reporting

The power supply has the ability to report its internal status to the user whenever it is asked to do so. Depending on the type of status the user requested, the supply will interrogate the status, accumulated status, mask, or fault registers present in each output. The status register can report status independently (see page 76) or it can work together with the mask and fault registers to report a fault (see page 77). The accumulated status register records every status condition the output experienced since the time it was last read (see page 77). Figure 5-3 shows a conceptual model of the operation of these registers.

Figure 5-3. Functional Relationship of Status Registers

The supply has one serial poll register which services all outputs and provides the user with other power supply status- related information as discussed in page 78.

Status Register. Each output channel of the power supply maintains its present status in an eight bit register. This status register reports the status of the output channel whenever it is queried. A "1" in any of the bit positions indicates that the condition is true. As long as the condition continues to be true, the bit will remain set. Assignments for the bits are shown in Table 5-5.

Decoding of the reading is based on the weighted number placed on each bit of the eight bit status registers. For example, bit position 5 in the register has a bit weight of 32 (see Table 5-5). Each bit is assigned to a particular condition and the corresponding bit weight is used to identify that condition. When set, bit 5 indicates that the associated output is in the unregulated state. If this is the only bit that is set, the number 32 will be returned when the output’s status register is queried.

The Agilent 6628A is a triple-output power supply, featuring two 0 to 20 V outputs capable of delivering up to 3 A each, along with a 5 V output that can supply 5 A. This combination is perfect for supplying power to devices that require multiple supply voltages simultaneously, making it an excellent choice for testing and development purposes.

The Agilent 6626A, on the other hand, offers dual output capabilities with higher specifications. Each of its outputs can be adjusted from 0 to 25 V and delivers up to 3 A, providing enhanced flexibility for designers and engineers working with various devices. Additionally, the 6626A's compact size and lightweight design make it easy to integrate into test setups without occupying excessive space.

For applications that require comprehensive monitoring, the Agilent 6625A provides a unique solution with its built-in digital voltmeter (DVM). This power supply comes with two 0 to 25 V outputs, both capable of 3 A. The integrated DVM allows real-time measurement and displays voltage and current values, ensuring accurate readings during experimentation and testing.

Lastly, the Agilent 6629A is designed for high-performance applications, providing up to four outputs, including two adjustable outputs that can be set between 0 to 35 V and deliver 5 A each. This model is particularly suited for environments where multiple devices need to be powered simultaneously with varying voltage requirements.

All four models come equipped with key features including ease of programming, precision regulation, and superior load transient response. They employ advanced technologies like low-noise operation and excellent line regulation, ensuring stable performance under varying load conditions. Additionally, safety features such as overvoltage protection, current limiting, and rapid recovery from overloads guarantee reliable operation.

In summary, Agilent's 6628A, 6626A, 6625A, and 6629A power supplies provide versatile, precise, and reliable solutions for all electronic testing needs. Their characteristics and dedicated functionalities make them indispensable tools for engineers, researchers, and developers across numerous fields. Whether it's for prototyping, testing, or production, these power supplies deliver the quality and performance that professionals expect from Agilent Technologies.
