1.3. CALibration Subsystem

1.3.1. CALibrate:IDN

This command updates the power supply’s identification string for the power supply model. The CAL:IDN string can have up to 100 characters. Before this command can be used, a password must be validated by CAL:PASS. Typically, this command is for Magna-Power Electronics use only.

Command Syntax:

CALibrate:IDN <string>

Parameters:

Company Name, Power Supply Model, Serial Number

Example:

CAL:IDN Magna-Power Electronics Inc., <model>, S/N: 1161-5225

Query Syntax:

CAL:IDN?

Return Param:

<string>

*IDN

1.3.2. CALibrate:PASS

This command protects against system calibration corruption and initiates the calibration sequence.

Command Syntax:

CAL:PASS <NR1>

Examples:

CALIBRATE:PASSWORD 1234, CAL:PASS 1234

1.3.3. CALibrate:POT

This command sets the value for the specified potentiometer. The variable specifies the potentiometer to be adjusted, 1 thru 5, and the second variable specifies the potentiometer setting, 0 through 255.

Command Syntax:

CALibrate:POT <NR1>,<NR2>

Examples:

CALIBRATE:POT 1,123, CAL:POT 5,11

Query Syntax:

CALibrate:POT?

Return Param:

<NR1>

1.3.4. CALibrate:SCALe:VOLTage

This command sets the voltage scale factor for the power supply.

Command Syntax:

CALibrate:SCALe:VOLTage <NRf>

Examples:

CALIBRATE:SCALE:VOLTAGE 16.0, CAL:SCAL:VOLT 16.0

Query Syntax:

CALibrate:SCALe:VOLTage?

Return Param:

<NR3>

1.3.5. CALibrate:SCALe:CURRent

This command sets the current scale factor for the power supply.

Command Syntax:

CALibrate:SCALe:CURRent <NRf>

Examples:

CALIBRATE:SCALE:CURRENT 900.0, CAL:SCAL:CURR 900.0

Query Syntax:

CALibrate:SCALe:CURRent?

Return Param:

<NR3>

1.3.6. CALibrate:SCALe:INPut

This command sets the full scale external programming inputs for voltage, current, over voltage trip, and over current trip. The scaling factor for the programming inputs must match the scaling factor set with hardware on the control board.

Command Syntax:

CALibrate:SCALe:INPut <NRf>

Examples:

CALIBRATE:SCALE:INPUT 10.0, CAL:SCAL:INP 10.0

Query Syntax:

CALibrate:SCALe:INPut?

Return Param:

<NR3>

This command sets the Calibration potentiometers to the factory defaults.

Command Syntax:

CALibrate:DEFaults

Examples:

CALibrate:DEFaults, CAL:DEF

1.3.8. CALibrate:STOP

This command terminates the calibration subsystem.

Command Syntax:

CALibrate:STOP

Examples:

CALibrate:STOP, CAL:STOP
