3.3.14.6 STOPPING A PROGRAM
To set up a program to stop after running once, set the NEXT STEP address of the last memory
location to be executed to 0. For example, with the power supply in command entry status ,
press EDIT PROG. Enter the last memory location you want executed (e.g. 14), then press
ENTER. Press
key until LCD reads
ViewVAL Mem14 NEXT STEP
. Enter 0 and press
ENTER. The program will now stop after memory location 14 is executed.
3.3.14.7 STOPPING A RUNNING PROGRAM
There are three ways to stop a program that is running:
• Press CLEAR key: the program immediately stops at the step (location) that was being
executed when the key was pressed. The power supply output remains at the values
specified by that step.
• Press RESET key: The program stops and power on defaults are restored (see PAR.
3.3.7).
• Press OUTPUT ON/OFF key: the output is disabled (programmed to zero) and the pro-
gram immediately stops at the step (location) that was being executed when the key was
pressed. Pressing the OUTPUT ON/OFF key again restores the output to the values
specified by the step in effect when the program was stopped.
3.3.14.8 SAMPLE PROGRAM
Table 3-3 shows a sample program designed to cycle continuously; if the NEXT STEP value for
location 3 is set to 00, the program will run once and stop.
3.3.15 CALIBRATION
See Section 4.
3.4 REMOTE MODE PROGRAMMING
ABC Power Supplies may be programmed over a control bus using SCPI (Standard Commands
for Programmable Instruments). SCPI provides a common language conforming to IEEE 488.2
for instruments used in an automatic test system. The control bus used must be either the IEEE
488 standard communication bus (General Purpose Interface Bus, GPIB; refer to Table 2-1 for
input/output signal allocations and PAR. 3.5 for a description of GPIB Operation) or the RS 232
serial bus (refer to Table 2-3 for input/output signal allocations and PAR. 3.6 for a description of
RS 232 operation). Most power supply functions available from the keypad can be programmed
via remote commands, in addition to some that are not available from the keypad (e.g. trigger-
