3Basic Programming

This chapter guides you through the process of programming the XMP 2600 to provide power at the outputs of its Power Modules.

Basic setup and usage

Assuming the XMP 2600 is initialized at turn-on (or no advanced features were used before) it is possible to rely on the default setup of the XMP 2600 and use a very small and basic set of commands.

Using the VSET and ISET commands you can program each Power Module to provide the required output voltage and current. The commands to use have the form:

VSET <ch>,<value> (e.g. VSET 1,12.44 to set channel 1 to provide 12.44V) and

ISET <ch>,<value> (e.g. ISET 1,5 to set channel 1 to a current limit of 5A).

For the Power Modules’ outputs to be turned on you should issue an ON command to each Power Module as well as a global output enable command. The commands to use have the form:

OUT 1 (global output enable) And

OUT <ch>,1 (to turn on the individual Power Module)

To turn off the outputs of the XMP 2600 use one of the following methods:

1.Turn off all the outputs using the global output disable command: OUT 0.

2.Turn off individual Power Modules using the command: OUT <ch>,0.

This basic setup is sufficient for a very basic usage of the XMP 2600. The XMP 2600 automatically programs the Over Voltage and Over Current protection levels (+10%) and no other protection or warning mechanism is activated.

Output Setup

Using a very basic setup (as described above) might be sufficient for some applications but not for all of them.
