Controller Features
Specification
Trigger Input:
External trigger source input. Requires TTL level input signal. Triggers
on negative edge. Response time 80 - 100
s.
Function Strobe:
Logic output, active low. Pulse width > 400
s. Function strobe is
generated on any voltage or frequency program change or output relay
open/close. (Mutually exclusive with Trigger Out.)
Trigger Out:
Logic output, active low. Pulse width > 400
s. Trigger out is generated
based on user programmed transient trigger list. (Mutually exclusive with
Function Strobe.)
Non volatile memory
storage:
16 complete instrument setups and transient lists, 100 events per list.
50 User defined waveforms.
Waveforms
i Series:
Sine.
iX Series:
Sine, square, clipped, user defined
Transients
Voltage: drop, step, sag, surge, sweep
Frequency: step, sag, surge, sweep
Voltage and Frequency: step, sweep
Current Limit Modes:
Two selectable modes of operation:
1. Constant current mode (voltage folds back with automatic recovery)
2. Constant voltage mode with output relay trip-off (Output relay
opens).
Control Interfaces
USB
Standard USB 2.0 peripheral.
Data transfer rate: 460,800 bps
Syntax: SCPI
Note:
Use of the USB port to control more than one power
source from a single PC is not recommended, as communication
may not be reliable. Use GPIB interface for multiple power source
control.
IEEE-488
AH1, DC1, DT1, L3, RL2, SH1, SR1, T6
IEEE 488.2 and SCPI
Response time is 10 ms (typical)
(Requires
–GPIB option on 751i and 1501i)
LAN / Ethernet
RJ45 Connector, 10BaseT, 100BaseT or 1000BaseT,
Data transfer rate: 460,800 bps
Protocol: TCP/IP.
(-LAN Option on 751iX and 1501iX only)
