ABC-VISA 092303
Set Trigger Voltage and
Current KpAbc_SetTrig_Volt_Curr Sets the trigger voltage and trigger current at the same time
Set Trigger Value KpAbc_SetTrigValue Sets the trigger voltage or trigger current level, depending on the switch
position.
Get Trigger Value KpAbc_GetTrigValue Gets the trigger voltage or the trigger current level, depending on the
switch position.
Set Overvoltage and
Overcurrent KpAbc_Set_OVvolt_OVcurr Sets both the overvoltage and overcurrent values.
Set Protection Delay KpAbc_setProtDelay Sets the protection delay: the delay between the moment the output
voltage and current are changed and the moment the overvoltage and
overcurrent protections are enabled.
Get Protection Delay KpAbc_getProtDelay Displays the protection delay count for the power supply. A count of 30
represent ~ 1 second. The protection delay is the delay between the
moment the output voltage and current are changed and the moment
the overvoltage and overcurrent protections are enabled.
ACTION/STATUS FUNCTIONS — This class of functions executes commands and queries. It also provides functions which allow
the user to determine the current status of the instrument.
Set Voltage and Current KpAbc_Set_Volt_Curr Sets the output voltage and current at the same time.
Set Value KpAbc_SetValue Sets the output voltage, the output current, the overvoltage level, or the
overcurrent level of the power supply, depending on the slide selection
position. The values are checked against the maximum acceptable val-
ues for the corresponding power supply.
Get Value KpAbc_GetValue Gets the output voltage, the output current, the overvoltage level, or the
overcurrent level of the power supply depending on slide selection
position.
Trigger KpAbc_Trig Triggers the instrument once. The output will go to the trigger voltage
and current values.
Measure Output Value KpAbc_MeasValue Measures the value of output voltage or current depending on the
switch position.
Get Source Mode KpAbc_GetSourceMode Gets the operating mode of the power supply.
Output On/Off KpAbc_OutputOnOff Sets the output on or off.
Get Output Status KpAbc_getOutputState Returns the output status (on or off).
Get Protection Status KpAbc_getProtectionStatus Gets the status of overvoltage or overcurrent protection (triggered or
not triggered).
Clear Protection KpAbc_clearProtection Clears the overvoltage or overcurrent protection.
Abort Measurement KpAbc_abortMeas Sends the abort command.
Beep KpAbc_beep The selected ABC power supply will emit a beep.
DATA FUNCTIONS — This class of functions transfers data to or from the instrument.
Set Memory Index KpAbc_SetIndex Sets the index pointer to one of the 40 available memory locations The
subsequent memory value changes will affect the memory location
pointed to by the index pointer.
Get Memory Index KpAbc_GetIndex Gets the value of the index pointer.
Set Memory Value KpAbc_SetListValue Depending on the slide selection position, this function sets the value of
the specified parameter (voltage level, current level, overvoltage level,
overcurrent level, time value, next memory address value) for the
memory location pointed to by the index pointer.
Get Memory Value KpAbc_GetListValue Depending on the slide selection position, this function gets the value
of the specified parameter (voltage level, current level, overvoltage
level, overcurrent level, time value, next memory address value) for the
memory location pointed to by the index pointer.
