CONFiguration Subsystem¶
CONTrol:INTernal¶
This command enables or disables the front panel switches and keys for start, stop, arm, and clear. For more information, see Commands.
The query, CONT:INT?, returns the status of internal control.
| Command Syntax: | [CONFigure]:CONTrol:INTernal <bool> |
|---|---|
| Parameters: | 0 (OFF) | 1 (ON) |
| Examples: | CONF:CONT:INT ON, CONT:INT 0 |
| Query Syntax: | [CONFigure]:CONTrol:INTernal? |
| Return Param: | 0 (OFF) | 1 (ON) |
CONTrol:EXTernal¶
This command enables or disables the external inputs for start, stop, arm, and clear. For more information, see Commands.
The query, CONT:EXT?, returns the status of external control.
| Command Syntax: | [CONFigure]:CONTrol:EXTernal <bool> |
|---|---|
| Parameters: | 0 (OFF) | 1 (ON) |
| Examples: | CONF:CONT:EXT ON, CONT:EXT 0 |
| Query Syntax: | [CONFigure]:CONTrol:EXTernal? |
| Return Param: | 0 (OFF) | 1 (ON) |
REMote:SENSe¶
This command sets voltage sensing to remote or local mode. Remote sensing improves the degradation of regulation which will occur at the load when the voltage drop in the connecting wires is appreciable. The local sense mode monitors the voltage at the output terminals of the power supply.
The query, REM:SENS?, returns the state of the sense lines.
| Command Syntax: | [CONFigure]:REMote:SENSe <bool> |
|---|---|
| Parameters: | 0 (OFF) | 1 (ON) |
| Examples: | CONF:REM:SENS ON, REMOTE:SENSE 0 |
| Query Syntax: | [CONFigure]:REMote:SENSe? |
| Return Param: | 0 (OFF) | 1 (ON) |
INTErlock¶
This command enables or disables the external interlock feature. Interlock is used for applications where the power supply needs to be disabled under external conditions.
The query, INTE?, returns the status of external interlock.
| Command Syntax: | [CONFigure]:INTErlock |
|---|---|
| Parameters: | 0 (OFF) | 1 (ON) |
| Examples: | CONF:INTE ON, INTE 0 |
| Query Syntax: | [CONFigure]:INTErlock? |
| Return Param: | 0 (OFF) | 1 (ON) |
CONFigure:SETPT¶
This command sets the operational mode of the power supply: ROTARY, KEYPAD, EXT PGM, or REMOTE. The operational mode determines from which interface the power supply receives its set points.
Note
KEYPAD configuration is only available for TS Series, MS Series, and MT Series supplies with the D-Version front panel.
The query, CONF:SETPT?, returns the operation mode of the power supply.
| Command Syntax: | [CONFigure]:SETPT <NR1> |
|---|---|
| Parameters: | 0 (ROTARY) | 1 (KEYPAD) | 2 (EXT PGM) | 3 (REMOTE) |
| Examples: | CONF:SETPT 0, SETPT 0 |
| Query Syntax: | [CONFigure]:SETPT? |
| Return Param: | <NR1> |
