INSTrument:COUPle[:TRIGger] {ALL | NONE |<
list
>}
This command defines a coupling between various logical outputs of the
power supply. The couple command consists of an optional subsystem node
followed by a single parameter. The
only valid parameter for the optional
subsystem node is
TRIGger
subsystem. If no node follows the couple
command,
TRIGger
subsystem is assumed to be coupled.
The parameter indicates to which logical outputs the specified coupling is
to apply. “ALL” indicates that specified coupling is to apply to all outputs.
“NONE” indicates that specified coupling is to be removed. A list of outputs
specifies a particular set of logical outputs to be coupled. At
*RST
, all
outputs are uncoupled. Notice that
TRACk
must be off before the ±25V
supplies can be coupled.
INST:COUP The following program segment shows how to use the
INSTrument:
COUPle
command to couple two outputs between the +6V and the +25V
outputs with voltage and current triggered levels. The power supply is set
to the newly programmed values as set by the
VOLTage:TRIGgered
and
CURRent:TRIGgered
commands.
"INST:SEL P6V"
Select the +6V output
"VOLT:TRIG 5"
Set triggered level to 5 V
"CURR:TRIG 3"
Set triggered level to 3 A
"INST:SEL P25V"
Select the +25V output
"VOLT:TRIG 20"
Set triggered level to 20 V
"CURR:TRIG 0.5"
Set triggered level to 0.5 A
"INST:COUP P6V,P25V"
Couple the +6V and +25V supply
"TRIG:SOUR IMM"
Set trigger to immediate
"INIT"
Trigger the power supply to
output the trigger values for
the +6V and the +25V supplies
N o t e If you select the bus trigger source in the above program (see page 79 for
the detailed information), you must send the
*TRG
or Group Execute
Trigger (GET) command to start the trigger action after sending the
INITiate
command.
