Table G-1. ARPS Commands

Description

These commands program output voltage. See Table 7-1 for the programming ranges of these commands.

Initial condition: 0 V

These commands program output current. See Table 7-1 for the programming ranges for these commands.

Initial condition: 0 A

These commands read voltage or current settings.

These commands measure and read output voltage or current.

NOTE: OVP commands do not work with Agilent 603xA supplies. These commands program the overvoltage protection. The OVP setting is programmed in either volts or millivolts. See Table 7-1 for the programming ranges of these commands. Initial condition: 10% above rated output.

This command reads the OVP setting.

These commands program an upper limit (soft limit) to the voltage programming value that the power supply will accept. The programming ranges are the same as those used for VSET.

OUT OFF OUT 0 OUT ON OUT 1

These commands read the soft voltage or current limits.

These commands program the delay time before a new output voltage or current is implemented or an RST, OUT ON, or CLR command is received. During the delay the CV, CC, and CR conditions cannot be reported as faults, and foldback protection is disabled.

This command reads the delay time setting.

These commands enable or disable the power supply output. The disabled state programs the output to relatively low voltage and current values. The unit will be able to implement commands even while the output is disabled.

Initial condition: OUT ON

(None)

OUTP:PROT:DEL

OUTP:PROT:DEL?

OUTP:STAT OFF OUTP:STAT 0 OUTP:STAT ON OUTP:STAT 1

FOLD OFF FOLD CC FOLD 2 FOLD 0 FOLD CV FOLD 1 FOLD CC FOLD 2

These commands enable or disable Foldback protection. Foldback protection disables the power supply output if the power supply switches to whichever mode (CV or CC) is defined as the fold (error) condition. Note that foldback protection is disabled during the DELAY period.

Initial condition: FOLD OFF

(None)

FOLD?

 

This command reads the Foldback setting.
