PONSetup:RELay[:HOLD]
This command is used to set a delay time between programming down the output voltage to 0 volt
and opening the output relay. This provides some time for any inductive loads connected at the
output of the power source to discharge into the amplifiers before opening the output relays
(OUTP 0 command or front panel On/Off).. Without this delay, inducative EUT‟s may kick up a
high flyback voltage. The same delay time is also used to program down and hold the voltage to
zero volt before switching the voltage range relays when performing a voltage range change.
(VOLT:RANG command or front panel RANGE change).
The default delay is set to 0.1 or 100 msec. This delay can be set to a value from 0.000 to 1.000
seconds. Once set, it is recalled at power up. Note that this delay affects the time it takes to
execute the OUTP 0 and the VOLT:RANG commands. If a delay is set, the bus will be held by
this amount of time while the power source executes either of these commands.
Note that this delay time is approximate only and may vary somewhat from unit to unit.
