Operation
Command Reference
Command | Description |
TRG | Implements programmed voltage and current settings which had been in |
| hold mode. The supply operates with previous values until the TRG (trigger) |
| command is sent. |
|
|
UNMASK <mnemonics> | Enables you to select the supply operating conditions that you are most |
| interested in monitoring for fault occurrence. Mnemonics describing the |
| conditions are separated from each other by commas, and may be sent in |
| any order. |
| Specifying one or more mnemonics which describe the conditions (or the |
| decimal equivalent of their total bit weight) enables the selected conditions |
| to set bits in the supply’s fault and status registers during operation. A bit is |
| set in the fault register when the corresponding bit in the status register |
| changes from 0 to 1 and the corresponding bit in the mask register is 1. See |
| “Accumulated Status, Status, and Fault Registers” on page 46. |
| Mnemonics: CV, CC, OV, OT, SD, FOLD, ERR, PON, REM, ACF, OPF, |
| SNSP, ALL, NONE |
| Initial value: UNMASK NONE |
UNMASK? | Asks for the supply's fault conditions which are currently enabled |
| (unmasked). |
| Response: UNMASK <fault mask> where fault mask is the decimal |
| equivalent of the total bit weights for the operating conditions as listed in the |
| status and fault registers See “Accumulated Status, Status, and Fault |
| Registers” on page 46. |
VDATA <Vlo>,<Vhi> | Calculates and records the slope and offset for programmed voltage using |
| VLO and VHI data. Set CMODE ON before using this command. See also |
| the calibration procedures in Section 4. |
| <Vlo> and <Vhi> are in <voltage> format. |
VHI | In response to this command, the power supply sends a programmed |
| voltage value to the output terminal. This value is at the high end of the |
| power supply’s voltage range and is read by an external device connected |
| as part of the calibration procedure. Refer to this value as VHI and record it |
| to use as input with the VDATA command. Set CMODE ON before using |
| this command. See also the calibration procedures in Section 4. |
VLO | In response to this command, the power supply sends a programmed |
| voltage value to the output terminal. This value is at the low end of the |
| power supply’s voltage range and is read by an external voltmeter |
| connected as part of the calibration procedure. Refer to this value as VLO |
| and record it to use as input with the VDATA command. Set CMODE ON |
| before using this command. See also the calibration procedures in |
| Section 4. |
