4.3.1.1  Operational Commands Description 

Below is a list of MPS Operational Commands which configure the various functions. 

 

ERR?:

 

Error Status Query 

Input: ERR?

 

Returned: [OVP] [RI] [STEP]

 

Remarks:

 Returns 

0

 if the error is inactive or 

1

 if it is active. Returns three characters plus up to two 

terminators. 

 

IMAX:

 

Programs Upper Current Limit 

Input:

 

IMAX [current] 

where

 [current]

  = a value between 

0

 and 

+72 A

.

 

Remarks:

  Programs the upper (soft) current limit of the MPS. Truncates the value to the 0.001 place. 

The initial condition is +000.0000 A. The current limit is always forced to a plus. Setting is 
limited by product limits. Control Bus inputs 4 places, display rounds to 0.01 or 0.001 place. 

 

IMAX?:

 

Current Limit Query 

Input: IMAX?

 

Returned:

 A number between 

0

 and 

+72 A

.

 

Remarks:

  Nine characters plus up to two terminators are returned. Value is shown as 

a “+,” but applies to both positive and negative entries. 

 

IOUT? (I?):

 

Output Current Query 

Input:

 

IOUT?  or  I?

 

Returned:

 A number between 

±72 A

.

 

Remarks:

  Returns nine characters plus up to two terminators.

 

 

ISET (I):

 Enter Output Current 

Input:

 

 

ISET [current]

  or  

I [current] 

where 

[current]

 = a value between 

±72 A

.

 

Remarks:

  Value is truncated to the 0.001 place. Initial condition is +000.0000 A. Setting is limited by 

IMAX. Control Bus inputs 4 places, display rounds to 0.01 or 0.001 place.

 

 

ISET?:

 

Output Current Setting Query 

Input:

 

ISET?

 

Returned:

 A number between 

±72 A

.

 

Remarks:

  Returns nine characters plus up to two terminators. 

 

IV?:

 

Output Summary Query 

Input:

 

IV?

 

Returned:

 

[IOUT], [VOUT], [STB], [I MODE], [V MODE]

 

Remarks:

  Returns twenty-seven characters plus up to two terminators. 

 

OVP?:

 

Overvoltage (Quench) Protection Circuit Status Query 

Input: OVP?

 

Returned:

 

0

 if the circuit is inactive, or 

1

 if it is active.

 

Remarks:

  One character plus up to two terminators are returned.
