NXC-VAI4 Analog Voltage Control Card

NXC-VAI4 Send_Commands (Cont.)

Command

Description

 

 

PC

Sets the shape of the Output <x> voltage ramps.

 

Syntax:

 

SEND_COMMAND <DEV>,'P<OUTPUT>C<CURVE>'

 

Variables:

 

OUTPUT: Any Output ('1', '2', '3', or '4')

 

CURVE:

 

'N' - Normal linear

 

'L' - Logarithmic

 

'I' - Inverted logarithmic

 

Example:

 

SEND_COMMAND <DEV>,'P1CL'

 

Sets "CURRENT OUTPUT 1 RAMP CURVE" to logarithmic.

 

 

PE

Selects which voltage reference (if any) is to be used for scaling of the output voltage. The specified

 

output will then remain proportional to the specified input.

 

Syntax:

 

SEND_COMMAND <DEV>,'P<OUTPUT>E<REFERENCE SELECTION> BU'

 

Variables:

 

OUTPUT: any Output ('1', '2', '3', or '4')

 

Reference selection:

 

’N’ - Normal/None: Uses no reference scaling.

 

’E’ - External: Use the External Reference input to scale the output.

 

’I’ - Input: Use the corresponding <x+4> input as the reference for the

 

output.

 

BU: Bipolar or Unipolar (has no meaning for reference selection 'N')

 

Unipolar mode sets the voltage range to between 0V and +reference voltage.

 

Bipolar mode sets the output voltage range to between -reference voltage and +reference voltage.

 

Examples:

 

SEND_COMMAND <DEV>,'P1EN'

 

Sets Output 1 to use no reference (MIN/MAX limits are used instead.).

 

SEND_COMMAND <DEV>,'P3EEU'

 

Sets Output 3 to use the External Reference input for scaling. The output voltages will range from 0 to

 

the external reference voltage.

 

SEND_COMMAND <DEV>,'P3EIB'

 

Sets Output 3 to use Input 7 for scaling. The output voltages will range from -input reading to +input

 

reading.

 

 

PL

Ramps the specified output from its current level value to the specified level value or specified

 

percentage of maximum at the rate specified by "CURRENT OUTPUT <x> RAMP UP TIME" or

 

optionally in the specified amount of time.

 

Syntax:

 

SEND_COMMAND <DEV>,'P<OUTPUT>L<LEVEL VALUE> [T<TIME>]'

 

Variables:

 

OUTPUT: Any Output ('1', '2', '3', or '4')

 

LEVEL VALUE: 0 - 255 or 0 - 100% (where 0 is low voltage)

 

TIME (optional): 0 - 255 in 0.1 second increments

 

Examples:

 

SEND_COMMAND <DEV>,'P1L50%'

 

Ramps Output 1 from its current value to 50% (mid voltage level) at the "CURRENT OUTPUT 1 RAMP

 

RATE".

 

SEND_COMMAND <DEV>,'P2L255T30'

 

Ramps Output 2 to maximum voltage level in 3 seconds.
