Ramping State Commands and Queries

CONFigure:RAMPDown:RATE:FIELD <

segment

>,<

rate (kG/s, kG/min,

T/s, T/min)

>, <

upper bound (Kg, T)

>

Sets the external rampdown rate for the specified segment (values of 1

through the defined number of rampdown segments are valid) in units of

kilogauss/second or minute, or tesla/second or minute (per the selected

field units and rampdown rate units), and defines the field upper bound for

that segment in kilogauss or tesla. This command requires that a coil

constant be defined; otherwise, an error is generated.

RAMPDown:RATE:FIELD: <

segment

>?

Returns the external rampdown rate setting for the specified segment

(values of 1 through the defined number of rampdown segments are valid)

in units of kilogauss/second or minute, or tesla/second or minute (per the

selected field units and rampdown rate units) and the current upper bound

for that range in kilogauss or tesla (per the selected field units). This

command requires that a coil constant has been defined; otherwise, an

error is generated. The two return values are separated by a comma. For

example:

RAMPDown:RATE:FIELD:1?

0.0100,5.0000

Ramping State Commands and Queries

The ramping state commands control and query the ramping state of the

Model 430 Programmer. For more information regarding each state, see

section 3.12.

If the ramping state is commanded remotely, the front panel display and

LED indicators will update and accurately reflect the commanded ramping

state.

RAMP

Places the Model 430 Programmer in automatic ramping mode. The Model

430 will continue to ramp at the configured ramp rate(s) until the target

field/current is achieved.

PAUSE

Pauses the Model 430 Programmer at the present operating field/current.

INCR

Places the Model 430 Programmer in the MANUAL UP ramping mode.

Ramping continues at the ramp rate until the Current Limit is achieved.
