MAT 1/3 RACK/ 112404 2-13
FTH VOLT(cr)(lf)
a. The MAT then sends the measured voltage in scientific notation to the Power Module
Controller (for example 36.005 volts) which
b. The Power Module Controller in turn sends:
3.6005E1(cr)(lf)
6. Check that the front panel meter reading and the computer value are identical within the
measurement tolerance. The meter selection switch must be set to “voltage” for a reading.
2.9.2 EXAMPLE 2: FULL SCALE CURRENT CHECK
Program the Power Module MAT 36-10 to full scale current and check that the front panel meter
and internal measured values are the same.
1. To program the Power Module to 10 amps, with a voltage limit of 36 volts, the Host Com-
puter sends:
FNC DCS :CH3 SET CURR 10 SET VLTL 36(cr)(lf)
The MAT at address 3, is now set to 10 amps, with a voltage limit of 36 volts.
2. To verify the FNC command was implemented, the Host Computer sends:
STA(cr)(lf)
The Power Module Controller sends back (if no errors occur):
(sp)(cr)(lf)
3. To measure the current at the output ,the Host Computer sends:
FNC DCS CURR :CH3(cr)(lf)
The MAT at address 3 is now set to take a reading,
4. To take a reading the Host Computer sends:
INX CURR(cr)(lf)
a. The MAT previously set up now starts to measure and send the proper time delay
needed for the measurement.
b. The Power Module Controller will send the time delay value back to the Host Com-
puter when it has been properly Talk Addressed (see specific IEEE 488 interface
requirements):
00(cr)(lf)
5. The Host Computer then sends:
FTH CURR(cr)(lf)
