Operation

Command Reference

Command

Description

OUT <1/ON>,<0/OFF>

Enables or disables the supply’s voltage/current output. The supply will

 

continue to accept new commands while the output is disabled but these

 

will not be implemented until OUT ON or OUT 1 is received. OUT ON is the

 

default setting. When you start the supply in remote mode, the output is

 

enabled.

 

OUT OFF (or OUT 0) also sets the isolation signal on the rear panel J7

 

connector, line 3. You can use the to trip external relays to isolate the power

 

supply from the load.

 

Initial value: OUT ON (or OUT 1) for output enabled

 

 

OUT?

Asks for the present enabled/disabled status of the supply’s output

 

voltage/current.

 

Response: OUT 1 output enabled or

 

OUT 0 output disabled

OVCAL

Causes the master controller to perform automatic calibration of the

 

supply’s over voltage protection circuitry. Set CMODE ON before using this

 

command. Ensure jumper J65 on the RS-232 Interface PCB is connected

 

for remote operation.

OVSET <voltage>

Sets the supply’s over voltage protection trip point in volts (default) or in

 

millivolts. If the trip point is exceeded, or if the trip point value is lower than

 

the present output voltage setting, the supply will ignore the command, turn

 

on the ERR LED, and set the ERR bit in the accumulated status register.

 

Reset with the RST command.

 

Range: 0 to 110% of model maximum output voltage (VMAX)

 

Initial value: 110% of model VMAX

 

 

OVSET?

Asks for the supply’s present over voltage protection limit.

 

Response: OVSET <voltage>

REN <1/ON>,<0/OFF>

Remote Enable. When set to REN 0, the power supply is in local mode. If a

 

command is sent from the computer, the power supply does not respond

 

but remains in local mode. When set to REN 1, the power supply will enter

 

remote mode if a command is sent from the computer. See also

 

“Remote/Local Operation” on page 27.

REN?

Asks for the state of the remote enable. See REN command.

 

Response: REN <state>

 

 

ROM?

Asks for the version number of the master and slave EPROMs located on

 

the interface PCB.

 

Response: ROM M:<version> S:<version>

 

 

RST

Resets the supply to present voltage and current settings if the output is

 

disabled by over voltage or foldback protection. Output values may be

 

changed via VSET, ISET, and OVSET while the unit is disabled, but those

 

values will not take effect until RST is applied.
