Cooling and Temperature SCPI Commands, EEPROM Protection

Codename Gizmo

Snapshot 73 introduces new SCPI commands for cooling mode control and internal temperature readback, giving users remote access to thermal management and diagnostics. Firmware reliability is strengthened with a critical fix that prevents EEPROM corruption during firmware downgrade and re-upgrade sequences, along with improved serial message handling for non-serialized targets. MagnaCTRL resolves a product connection issue and DBx Module slew rates can now be further reduced to better accommodate highly inductive loads.

Water Cooled Solenoid Control, Flash CRC Validation, and Extended Build IDs

Snapshot 72 introduces firmware control logic for the +WC solenoid, enabling independent solenoid operation while fans maintain a low base duty cycle on water-cooled SLx products. Firmware reliability improves with CRC validation on external flash reads to prevent boot failures after updates and a fix that prevents units from retaining factory calibration modes. Build ID support is extended beyond the 16-bit limit, unimplemented menu items are hidden from the front panel, and MagnaCTRL now reads live values for the External UserIO panel. The Test & Cal suite adds +WC test routines, database-driven chopper gain programming, revised temperature trip points, and several bug fixes.

High Speed Industrial Communications, DBx Module in MagnaCTRL, Improved Chopper Trips

Snapshot 68 delivers a broad round of performance, stability, and consistency upgrades across the platform. Industrial communication interfaces gets faster processing plus a new idle task scheduler, while documentation clarifies testing and analog-input options. Firmware sees meaningful changes: “Running” is now “Ready,” legacy ARx/WRx modes are deprecated, chopper currents are normalized, cabinet fans can be EEPROM-controlled, and a raft of fixes improves HRPWM behavior, startup robustness, and master-slave operation, alongside new VMEM signal mapping and a severity enum for cleaner logs. The Test & Cal Suite expands with conditional load-transient testing, Blank Front Panel (+FP1) handling, new scope driver support, simultaneous instances, and workflow refinements that speed execution and improve reliability. MagnaCTRL gains DBx Module control and firmware upgrade capability, better LXI TCP/IP Ethernet throughput, resilient startup and reconnect behavior, locale-aware number entry, and structural maintenance to align pin labels/options and VMEM messaging with firmware. Together, these changes tighten cross-stack alignment, reduce edge-case faults, and improve day-to-day usability for integrators, testers, and end users alike.

EEPROM Write Changes and Toggle

GEN1 9.1 is a focused firmware update designed to reduce EEPROM wear, especially in highly dynamic, rapid write scenarios. The firmware introduces a new SCPI command, SYSTem:EepromLoCK, allowing users with highly dynamic set point changes to temporarily block EEPROM writes. While locked, the supply ignores physical EEPROM writes but maintains a RAM history of attempted writes so subsequent reads reflect the latest commanded values; when unlocked, reads return EEPROM values. Additionally, when unlocked the firmware now suppresses redundant EEPROM writes; if a commanded value matches what’s already stored, it won’t be rewritten. The lock state is volatile and resets on power cycle.

Firmware Gen1 9.1

  • Feature:

    Added SYSTem:EepromLoCK command controls and queries the EEPROM write lock state of the power supply.

    GEN1-1862
  • Changed:

    Suppress EEPROM writes when the new value matches the stored value.

Function Generator in MagnaCTRL, TapSettings Introduction, Low Temperature Improvements

In Snapshot 67, we’re expanding MagnaCTRL’s capabilities with a new built-in Function Generator mode, alongside a new TapSettings feature to modify the filtering of voltage and current measurements. These releases address low-temperature challenges by fixing standalone units misidentifying as slaves and applying new temperature compensation for internal oscillators. We’ve also refined communication options, including static IP support for EtherNet/IP and temporary DHCP for PROFINET modules, to boost testing flexibility. Documentation improvements clarify water quality requirements and remove outdated SCPI parameters, while TestAndCal includes a variety of fixes for better stability and enhanced data handling during production and burn-in tests.

MagnaCTRL Signal Data Logging, Studio 5000 Guide for EtherNet/IP, Bug fixes

Snapshot 65 unveils several significant enhancements, with the standout feature being the introduction of Signal Logging in MagnaCTRL. This new functionality allows users to log key parameters for xGen products at defined intervals, while the Signal Logging panel provides a real-time graphical output of product measurements, enhancing monitoring and analysis capabilities. Communications have been improved with a custom configuration webpage for Modbus, TCP, and ProfiNet, ensuring more robust and flexible connectivity options. The firmware has received numerous updates, including fixes for Modbus and Anybus queries, expanded PWM range in auto-crossover modes, and enhanced memory recovery processes, all contributing to greater system reliability. Additionally, documentation and TestAndCal tools have been thoroughly updated and upgraded, providing users with accurate information and improved testing and calibration support.
