Chapter 3 Front-Panel Operation

Disabling the Output

Disabling the Output

The output of the power supply can be disabled or enabled from the front panel.

When the power supply is in the “Off” state, the OFF annunciator turns on and the output is disabled. The OFF annunciator turns off when the power supply returns to the “On” state. When the output is disabled, the voltage value is 0 volts and the current value is 0.02 amps.

The output state is stored in volatile memory; the output is always disabled when power has been off or after a remote interface reset.

While the output is disabled, the range selection keys, the control knob, resolution selection keys, and adjust selection key are still working. If the display is in the meter mode, you cannot see the changes of output voltage and current settings on the display when turning the knob. To see or check the changes when the outputs are disabled, the display should be in the limit mode.

•Front-panel operation:

You can disable the output by pressing OutputOn/Off key. This key toggles between output “Off” and “On” states.

•Remote interface operation:

OUTP {OFFON}

Disable or enable the output

You must send this command before calibrating the voltage. It takes about 30 seconds to execute the command This command can only be used after calibration is unsecured and the output state is ON. It sets the power supply to a calibration point that is entered with CALVOLT command. During calibration, three points must be entered and the low-end point MIN must be selected and entered first RS-232 Interface Commands The SCPI Status Registers What is an Event Register?What is an Enable Register?
