DISCHARGE POWER SUPPLY MANUAL
MODEL DC3005, MODEL 30010, MODEL 15012
zero output, it also puts the unit in standby mode, while VA4095 is ..
maximum output.
• VBxxxx Sends a Voltage setpoint to the Discharge Power Supply. .
Note: xxxx is a decimal value from 0-4095. VB0 is the minimum or .
zero output, it also puts the unit in standby mode, while VB4095 is maxi-
mum output.
• *IDN? Identi
fi
cation query. Returns the product identi
fi
er code.
• RD0 Returns a decimal number 0-4095 for conversion to the correspond-
ing output current.
• RD1 Returns a decimal number 0-4095 for conversion to the correspond-
ing output voltage.
• RD? Returns both RD parameters with one request.
·
*RST Reset. Puts the unit into standby and resets the output to zero.
·
*TST? Test. Returns a 0 (zero) if the unit is functioning normally, or a
number that corresponds to the front panel help codes as described in
diagnostics section 4.
·
MEASure:CURRent? or MEAS:CURR? Measure current query. Returns
the DC output current in amps with three decimal places.
·
MEASure:VOLTage? or MEAS:VOLT? Measure voltage query. Returns
the DC output voltage in volts with three decimal places
·
SOURce:CURRent or SOUR:CURR Input the operating current. The
desired operating current in amps following either the long or short form
of the command. A space can be inserted after the command, or the
space can be omitted. The level of current must be within the range for
the power supply. Up to three decimal places may be used to input the
current, but these decimal places do not have to be speci
fi
ed. The deci-
mal point is also not required if there are no signi
fi
cant decimal places. In
the case of the bias and keeper supply, if this command is anything other
than zero, it also enables the supply. Conversely, a command of zero will
put the power supply into standby for the bias and keeper. The discharge
supply requires that both the SOURce:CURRent and SOURce:VOLTage
be non zero to enable the power supply.
