Display Annunciators

Adrs Power supply is addressed to listen or talk over a remote interface.

Rmt Power supply is in remote interface mode.

8V Shows the 8V/20A range is selected. (Agilent E3633A model)

20V Shows the 20V/10A range is selected. (Agilent E3633A model)

25V Shows the 25V/7A range is selected. (Agilent E3634A model)

50V Shows the 50V/4A range is selected. (Agilent E3634A model)

OVP The overvoltage protection function is enabled when the annunciator turns on or the overvoltage protection circuit has caused the power supply to shutdown when the annunciator blinks.

OCP The overcurrent protection function is enabled when the annunciator turns on or the overcurrent protection circuit has caused the power supply to shutdown when the annunciator blinks.

CAL The power supply is in calibration mode.

Limit The display shows the limit values of voltage and current.

ERROR Hardware or remote interface command errors are detected and the error bit has not been cleared.

OFF The output of the power supply is disabled (See page 52 for more information).

Unreg The output of the power supply is unregulated (output is neither CV nor CC).

CV The power supply is in constant voltage mode.

CCThe power supply is in constant current mode.

To review the display annunciators, hold down DisplayLimit key as you turn on the power supply.

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 What is an Event Register?
