The PSC allows three groups of commands :
• IEEE488.2 Common Commands
• SCPI (standard Commands for programmable Instruments)
• DPC (Delta Programmable Commands) emulation mode of the old PSC44M (for compatibility only)
The PSC can be programmed using languages like Basic, Pascal, C, Visual Basic, Delphi, Hpvee, Testpoint, Labview ect.
Some software examples are avai
Analog outputs
Analog inputs
• Two 14 bit analog outputs
• Two 12 -16 bit analog input channels
• Software full scale calibration
• Software full scale calibration
• Software offset calibration
• Software offset calibration
• Linearity error 1 LSB
• Linearity error +/- 2 LSB
• TC typical 30 ppm/°C
• TC typical 30 ppm/°C
Each analog in- and output can be set or read. Analog voltage are standardized on 0 - 5 V.
Analog in- and outputs have a common zero.
Status monitoring
The PSC privides logic status inputs to monitor the status signals of the power supply as CC mode, current and voltage limit,
DC fail, AC fail, and Over temperature.
Controls
Remote ShutDown : Enables / Disables the output voltage of the power supply.
REMOTE : Switches from manual control to remote control ( not on PSC-488 and the PSC-232 modules)
User Inputs
The PSC-232 module and the PSC-488 module provide two 1000 V opto-isolated logic inputs with common zero for custom use.
The input impedance is 470 Ohm, Logic high = 2.5 ... 8 V, Logic low = 0 V
User outputs
The PSC-232 module and the PSC-488 module provide two 1000 V opto-isolated, logic, open collector outputs with common zero for custom use.
The outputs collector emitter maximum rating is 50 V / 4.5 - 7 mA (total dissipation max mW). See manual for more details.
