SETUP Configuration Commands and Queries

CONFigure:PSwitch:CoolTIME <

time (seconds)

>

Sets the time required in seconds for the persistent switch to become

superconducting after the persistent switch heater has been deactivated.

CONFigure:PSwitch:PowerSupplyRampRate

Sets the ramp rate that will be used by the power supply to ramp the

current

1

during the

PERSIST. SWITCH CONTROL

operation. For more

information as to how this

PERSIST. SWITCH CONTROL

function

operates, refer to section 3.6.1 on page 31.

PSwitch:CoolTIME?

Returns the persistent switch cooled time in seconds.

PSwitch:PowerSupplyRampRate?

Returns the power supply ramp rate used to change the power supply

output when the magnet persistent switch is cool. The units are A/sec.

CONFigure:PSwitch:CoolingGAIN <

percent

>

Sets the persistent switch cooling gain in percent.

PSwitch:CoolingGAIN?

Returns the persistent switch cooling gain in percent.

CONFigure:QUench:DETect {0|1}

Sending “0” disables the automatic quench detection function of the Model

430 Programmer. “1” enables the automatic quench detection function of

the Model 430. See section 3.15 for more information. “0” is the default

value.

QUench:DETect?

Returns “0” indicating automatic quench detection is disabled, or “1”

indicating that the automatic quench detection is enabled.

CONFigure:QUench:RATE <

value

>

Sets the value of the quench detect rate variable. Allowable values are

from “0.1” to “2.0”. “1.5” is the default value (no units).

QUench:RATE?

Returns the value of the quench detect rate variable (no units).

CONFigure:ABsorber {0|1}

Sending “0” indicates that an energy absorber is not present in the system.

A “1” indicates that an energy absorber is present. “0” is the default value.

1. While the magnet is in persistent mode.
