Set Trigger Voltage and
Current
KpBhk_SetTrig_Volt_Curr
Sets the trigger voltage and trigger current at the same time
Set Trigger Value
KpBhk_SetTrigValue
Sets the trigger voltage or trigger current level, depending on the switch
position.
Get Trigger Value
KpBhk_GetTrigValue
Gets the trigger voltage or the trigger current level, depending on the
switch position.
Set Overvoltage and
Overcurrent
KpBhk_Set_OVvolt_OVcurr
Sets both the overvoltage and overcurrent values.
Set Protection Delay
KpBhk_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
KpBhk_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
KpBhk_Set_Volt_Curr
Sets the output voltage and current at the same time.
Set Value
KpBhk_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
KpBhk_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
KpBhk_Trig
Triggers the instrument once. The output will go to the trigger voltage
and current values.
Measure Output Value
KpBhk_MeasValue
Measures the value of output voltage or current depending on the
switch position.
Get Source Mode
KpBhk_GetSourceMode
Gets the operating mode of the power supply.
Output On/Off
KpBhk_OutputOnOff
Sets the output on or off.
Get Output Status
KpBhk_getOutputState
Returns the output status (on or off).
Get Current Range
KpBhk_getCurrRange
Gets the operating current range of the power supply.
Set Current Range
KpBhk_setCurrRange
Sets the operating current range of the power supply
Abort Measurement
KpBhk_abortMeas
Sends the abort command.
Beep
KpBhk_beep
The selected BHK-MG power supply will emit a beep.
DATA FUNCTIONS — This class of functions transfers data to or from the instrument.
Questionable Data
KpBhk_StatQues
Tests for questionable data, then gets the condition.
Run/Stop LIST Program
KpBhk_Prog
Sends a RUN or STOP LIST program command.
Get Status of LIST Pro-
gram
KpBhk_Prog_Stat
Gets status of program: 0 = stopped, 1 = running
Send Direction of LIST
Program
KpBhk_Prog_Dir
Sends direction to run LIST program (UP or DOWN). Does NOT apply
to 40-step LIST programs available from front panel.
Send Loop Count of
LIST Program
KpBhk_Prog_Count
Sends loop count value - how many times the LIST program will run.
Value of 0 = run continuous. Does NOT apply to 40-step LIST pro-
grams available from front panel.
