5. Press ENTER to confirm the new GPIB address or CLEAR ENTRY to accept previous set-
ting. In either case the display returns to either “Output is off” (PAR. 3.2.1.5.1, step 1)
if the output is disabled, or “Keypad control” (PAR. 3.2.1.5.1, step 2) if the output is
enabled.
NOTE: The new GPIB address will be in effect the next time the unit is turned on; to make it
effective immediately, turn power to the MBT off, then on again.
3.2.1.11 LOCAL MODE PROGRAMMING OF THE POWER SUPPLY
The Local mode programming feature of the MBT Series Power Supply allows up to ten sepa-
rate programs (0 to 9) to be set up via the keypad. Each program is a series of commands
(steps) which are set up prior to execution. A total of 99 steps are available, and since each pro-
gram uses at least one step, this leaves 89 steps which can be split, as desired, among a maxi-
mum of ten programs; a single program may contain a maximum of 90 steps. Each step of a
program allows the MBT to be set to specific parameters for a specified period of time. Table 3-
15 defines the five screens used to program each step.
Once a program is entered into the power supply, it remains in non-volatile memory, so that the
program can be recalled and executed again even if the unit was previously turned off.
For M and MG Models, each step allows the unit to select:
• Values for output voltage and current limit (Screen 0)
• the active time period for these values (screen 1)
NOTE: If the unit is forced into Current mode by the value of the load relative to programmed
current and voltage, the values programmed for output voltage and current limit will be
used for voltage limit and output current, respectively
For MR and MGR Models, each step allows the user to select:
• output voltage and current limit or output current or voltage limit values (Screen 0)
• the active time period for these values (Screen 1)
• voltage mode or current mode (Screen 2)
• polarity non-reversed or reversed
• output enabled or disabled.
