VOLTage:ALC
Phase Selectable
This command enables or disables the automatic voltage level control mode. If ALC is on,
the output voltage of the power source is continuously adjusted based on the voltage
measurement data acquired by the controller's measuremet system. This results in
increased output accuracy and load regulation. If regulation cannot be maintained, an output
voltage fault error is generated and the output is turned off. The regulate mode (REG) may
be set to enable ALC mode but disable the output volt fault error if load regulation cannot be
maintained.
Note that for the MX15-1Pi, MX30-3Pi, MX45-3Pi, RS and BPS Series this mode is coupled
with the OUTP:IMP commands as the ALC mode and the programmable impedance
functions are mutually exclusive. Attempting to enable one while the other is active will result
in a command error. The ALC mode is also inactive during transient execution, even if it is
enabled.
