Table G-1. ARPS Commands (continued)

Description

This command resets the power supply if the output is disabled by the overvoltage, remote inhibit, or foldback protection circuits. The power supply resets to the parameters stored for the power-on state. Note that the settings can be changed while the unit is disabled.

These commands determine if certain newly received commands are immediately acted on by the power supply or are acted on later while the unit continues to operate with 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

This command reads the HOLD setting.

These commands cause the power supply to act on commands that have been previously sent, but are being held (pending). The unit 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.

UNMASK mnemonics

UNMASK xxx

This command reads the contents of the status register, which maintains the present status of the power supply.

This command reads the contents of the accumulated status register, which stores any bit condition entered in the status register since the accumulated status register was last read, regardless of whether the condition still exists.

These commands determine the conditions that will set bits in the fault register, allowing the operator to define the conditions that will be reported as faults. Fault conditions can be enabled by 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
