|
| Command |
RST | This command resets the power supply if the output is disabled by | OUTP:PROT:CLE |
| the overvoltage, remote inhibit, or foldback protection circuits. |
|
| The power supply resets to the parameters stored for the |
|
| state. Note that the settings can be changed while the supply is |
|
| disabled. |
|
HOLD OFF | These commands determine if certain newly received | VOLT:TRIG |
HOLD 0 | commands are immediately acted on by the power supply | CURR:TRIG |
HOLD ON | or are acted on later while the supply continues to operate with |
|
HOLD 1 | previously received values. HOLD ON can be used to |
|
| synchronize power supply actions with the actions of other GPIB |
|
| devices. (See the TRG command.) Initial condition: HOLD OFF |
|
|
|
|
HOLD? | This command reads the HOLD setting. | VOLT:TRIG? |
|
| CURR:TRIG? |
|
|
|
T | These commands cause the power supply to act on commands that | INIT ON;TRIG |
TRG | have been previously sent, but are being held (pending). The | INIT ON;*TRG |
| supply continues to operate with previously received values until a |
|
| trigger command is received (see HOLD command.) The device |
|
| trigger interface message performs the same function. |
|
|
|
|
STO RCL | These commands cause the power supply to store and recall power | *SAV |
| supply states, except for output on/off. Each state includes: | *RCL |
| voltage (lst and 2nd rank), current (lst and 2nd rank), soft voltage |
|
| and current limit, delay time, service request on/off, foldback (lst |
|
| and 2nd rank), mask (lst and 2nd rank), and hold. |
|
| Initial condition: Each register is initiated to the |
|
|
|
|
STS? | This command reads the contents of the status register, which | STAT:OPER:COND? |
| maintains the present status of the power supply. | STAT:QUES:COND? |
|
| *ESE? |
|
|
|
ASTS? | This command reads the contents of the accumulated status | STAT:OPER? |
| register, which stores any bit condition entered in the status | STAT:QUES? |
| register since the accumulated status register was last read, | *ESE? |
| regardless of whether the condition still exists. |
|
|
|
|
UNMASK | These commands determine the conditions that will set bits in the | STAT:OPER:ENAB |
mnemonics | fault register, allowing the operator to define the conditions that | STAT:QUES:ENAB |
UNMASK | will be reported as faults. Fault conditions can be enabled by | *ESE |
xxx | sending a string of status register mnemonics after the UNMASK |
|
| command. The mnemonics must be separated by commas, and |
|
| may be sent in any order, but must correspond to the condition that |
|
| will be enabled. Fault conditions can also be enabled by sending |
|
| the decimal equivalent of the total bit weight of all conditions to be |
|
| enabled. UNMASK NONE disables all conditions from setting |
|
| bits in the fault register. Initial condition: UNMASK NONE |
