8.6 MIL-STD 704 Rev D - F (-704)
The following are the remote commands available for the -704 test option. There are two
firmware options available for MIL-STD 704 testing,the
–704 option and the -704F option:
Option –704 covers revisions D through F and matches the traditional implementation
used on other California Instruments AC power sources. This mode provides shorted test
times but does not follow the test protocols that were published with revision F in 2004.
This option uses SCPI command syntax prefix MIL704 and is covered in this chapter.
Option –704F covers revisions A thorugh F and does follow the new test protocol
guidelines published in 2004. The –704F option uses SCPI command syntax prefix
MS704 and is covered in chapter 8.7.
The ABORt command will terminate the test in progress at any time. See the Lx / Ls Series II
User Manual (P/N 7004-980) for more details about the implementation of each 704 test step.
The
–704 option as implemented on the Lx/Ls Series only supports AC power applications. DC
mode is not available on the Lx/Ls Series so no DC tests are provided in the –704 option.
Note that none of the MIL704 commands do accept parameters or have a query format except for
the MIL704:VERSion command, which accept a letter D, E or F as a parameter and the
MIL704:FREQ command. The MIL704:VERSion command query response will return the letter D,
E or F based on the selection test standard version. The MIL704:FREQuency command query
response will return the nominal test frequency setting.
Programming Considerations
Several of the MIL-STD 704 test steps take considerable time to execute. (Refer to Lx/Ls User
Manual P/N 7004-980 for approximate test times. The *OPC command may be used to set the
OPC bit in the Event Status Register upon command completion. The Event Status Register OPC
bit can be enabled through the appropriate enable register to generate an SRQ if GPIB is used.
Alternatively, the *OPC? query commend can be used to poll for completion of the MIL704
command.
