2.1.5 System Specification

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 (50 waveforms)

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

Note: Only one of the serial interfaces (USB, RS232 or LAN) can be
active at the same time. (Mutually exclusive).

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.

RS232

Standard RS232 interface.
Data transfer rate: 9600 to 115,200 bps
Format: 8 data, 1 start, 1 stop, no parity.
Syntax: SCPI

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 2253i)

LAN / Ethernet

RJ45 Connector, 10BaseT, 100BaseT or 1000BaseT,
Data transfer rate: 460,800 bps
Protocol: TCP/IP.
(-LAN Option on 2253iX only. RS232 interface is disabled with –LAN
option)
