Command

Description

 

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 GPIB 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>

 

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.

 

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

SRQ ON enables the supply to respond to a variety of fault conditions with a

 

request for service to the IEEE-488 bus controller. With SRQ ON, the SRQ

 

line will be asserted true whenever the FAU bit in the supply's serial poll

 

register changes from 0 to 1. Therefore, the mask register, in addition to

 

specifying which conditions set the FAU bit, also determines which

 

conditions can generate service requests. Ten power supply conditions are

 

defined as faults: CB, CC, OV, OTP, SD, ERR, FOLD, ACF, OPF, SNSP.

 

Use the FAULT? query to discover which condition caused the service

 

request. See “Accumulated Status, Status, and Fault Registers” on page

 

50. A request for service at Power ON (PON SRQ) is set via a rear panel

 

switch on the supply. See “Power On Service Request (PON SRQ)” on

 

page 25. SRQ remains disabled until the FAULT bit in the serial poll register

 

is cleared by a FAULT? query.

 

SRQ?

Asks for the supply's present ability to generate service requests.

 

Response: SRQ 0 (disabled)

 

SRQ 1 (enabled)

 

 

 

STS?

Asks for the supply’s present status register. Status conditions are stored in

 

the status register. Each bit represents a separate condition. When the

 

condition is true, the corresponding bit is 1 (true). Bits remain set in the

 

status register as long as the condition is true. See “Accumulated Status,

 

Status, and Fault Registers” on page 50.

 

Response: STS <status mask> where status mask is the decimal equivalent

 

of the total bit weights for the operating conditions as listed in the status

 

register.
