Operation
Power Supply Operation
The functionality of the hardware protection circuits (OVP, OTP, ACFail) remains the same in local mode.
WARNING
When returning to remote mode, the remote protection setpoints may trip even though the remote setpoints would not normally cause the unit to shutdown. This is because the output transient in settling to the remote settings from the local settings may cause a trip condition. Once cleared, the unit will operate normally.
Note: There will be no status reporting of OVP, interlock, sense, OT or AC protections while the unit is in local mode since software protections cannot be cleared at the front panel.
Power On (XFR/XHR and XPD only) You may set whether the power supply powers on in Remote State remote or local mode
SYST:REM:PON:STAT
Enable When the output is disabled, the S/D LED on the front panel will be lit and a bit in Output the shutdown register will be set.
To enable or disable the output:
OUTP[<channel>] {ONOFF01}
Setting the output state to "ON" will attempt to clear all shutdown bits (except the interlock). Previously, it only cleared a shutdown caused by a command (i.e. "OUTP OFF").
To query the state of the output enable:
OUTP?
The output state query returns "0" if the output is disabled for any reason (e.g. protection tripped or command shutdown) and "1" only if the output is enabled.
Set Voltage SOUR:VOLT <voltage> and Current SOUR:CURR <current>
To check your settings:
SOUR:VOLT?
SOUR:CURR?
