Power Supply Operation

This section describes how to configure and operate the power supply.

For a complete list of commands and remote functionality, see Appendix B. “SCPI Command Reference”. Read “Understanding SCPI Commands” on page 99 for a better understanding of SCPI commands.

Almost every command setting can be queried to return the current setting. The query is given by appending a “?” to the command header (the command, minus any parameters).

Change A SCPI command is provided to change the remote/local mode. (GPIB can also use Remote/Local IEEE 488-1 functions to change modes.)

Mode

SYST:REM:STAT {LOCREMRWL}

Where:

•LOC: go to local mode operation

•REM: go to remote mode operation

•RWL: remote with local lockout. Go to remote mode operation with local mode locked out. With RWL set, the user cannot return to local mode via the front panel. RWL is only valid for XFR/XHR series power supplies. Local lockout will not allow the user to return the power supply to local operation using the front panel LOCAL button.

To query to remote mode:

SYST:REM:STAT?

XFR and XHR series power supplies have a LOCAL key that allows you to shift control to local mode except if the power supply has Local Lockout (LLO) active.

Changing the remote/local state:

When entering local mode, the option card will clear all protections and re-enable the bridge since software protections cannot be cleared at the front panel. When returning to remote, the command shutdown will be reasserted if it was set when the unit was last in remote mode.

Software protection settings and configurations (over voltage, under voltage, over current and under current levels, and AC Fail, over temperature and fold configurations) are ignored while in local mode.
