PSM SERIES PROGRAMMABLE POWER SUPPLY

PROGRAMMER MANUAL

⎯ 53 ⎯

Syntax:

DISPlay:CONTrast {0|1|2|3|4}

according to the sequence of 0 to 4

from dark to bright.

z TRIGGER COMMANDS

The power supply’s triggering system allows a change in voltage and

current when receiving a trigger, to select a trigger source, and to insert a
trigger. Triggering the power supply is a multi-step process.

z First, you must specify the source from which the power supply will

accept the trigger. The power supply will accept a bus (software)
trigger or an immediate trigger from the remote interface.

z Then, you can set the time delay between the detection of the trigger

on the specific trigger source and the start of any corresponding
output change.

Notice that the time delay is valid for only the bus trigger source.

z Finally, you must provide an INITiate command. If the IMMediate

source is selected, the selected output is set to the triggered level
immediately. But if the trigger source is the bus, the power supply is
set to the triggered level after receiving the Group Execute Trigger
(GET) or *TRG command.

z TRIGGER COMANDS

TRIGger:SOURce

Function:
Set or query the currently trigger source.

Syntax:

TRIGger:SOURce {BUS|IMMediate}

TRIGger:SOURce?

Returns “BUS” or “IMM”.

TRIGger:DELay

Function:
Set or query the currently trigger delay.

Syntax:

TRIGger:DELay {|MIN|MAX}

TRIGger:DELay?

the range is within 0~3600s.

MIN is for 0 while MAX for 3600.

INITiate

Function:
To cause the trigger system to initiate.

Syntax:

INITiate

Examples:

TRIG:SOUR IMM

VOLT:TRIG 5.0

CURR:TRIG 3.0

INIT

After proceeding above program, the output will be change to 5V/3A
immediately.
