Command | Description | |
DLY <seconds> | S ts a programmable time delay employed by the supply before reporting fault | |
| conditions. The power supply uses the time delay after receiving a new output | |
| voltage or current setting via VSET or ISET, or after receiving RST, TRG, or OUT | |
| ON | omma ds. During the time delay, the power supply disables CV, CC, and |
| FOLD conditions from generating faults, preventing possible nuisance foldback if | |
| the sup ly momentarily switches modes while changing an output setting. | |
| Range: 0 to 32 seconds, with 32ms resolution | |
| Initial value: 0.5 second | |
DLY? | Asks for he setting of the programmable time delay before the supply reports fault | |
| conditions. | |
| R | ponse: DLY <seconds> |
|
| |
ERR? | Asks for he most recent remote programming error. When the power supply | |
| d te ts a programming error, it lights the ERR LED and sets the ERR bit in the | |
| accumulated status and fault registers. If the error bit has been masked using the | |
| MASK command, then the ERR bit in the registers will not set. Once an error is | |
| d te ted, the remaining portion of the command line is discarded. An error query | |
| cl ars the ERR bit in the accumulated status register. See “Error Codes” on page 3– | |
| 19. |
|
| Response: ERR <error number> Example: ERR 0 (if no error) | |
|
| |
FAULT? | Asks for the state of the fault register. A bit is set in the fault register when a fault | |
| arises for that condition. Lists the conditions which activate a fault bit. You can use | |
| the MASK command to disable bits from being set in the fault register. | |
| When a bit is set in the fault register it also asserts a signal on the Pin 4 user signal | |
| line. You can tie the Pin 4 fault line signal to the power supply's own External | |
| Shutdown user line, Pin 1, so that the shutdown signal goes low (active) in the case | |
| of a | |
| The FAULT? query clears bits in the supply's fault register and fault line. | |
| Response: FAULT <fault mask> where fault mask is the decimal equivalent of the | |
| total bit weights for the operating conditions as listed in the fault register. See | |
| “Accumulated Status, Status, and Fault Registers” on page | |
|
| |
FOLD | Sets foldback mode for the supply. Foldback protection disables the power supply | |
<2/CC>, <1/CV>, | output when the output enters the fold condition. Reset with the RST command. | |
<0/OFF> | Example: Specify FOLD 1 or FOLD CV (Constant Voltage) when you want the | |
| supply to operate in Constant Current mode and have foldback protection disable | |
| the output if the supply switches to Constant Voltage mode. | |
| Initial value: FOLD 0/OFF | |
