Programming the Output
Series N6700 User’s Guide
41
Because of internal circuit start-up procedures and any installed
relay options, the output on command may take between 35 and 50
milliseconds to complete its function. Conversely, the output off
command may take between 20 and 25 milliseconds to complete its
function.
If you need to mitigate this built-in delay, you can program the
output to zero volts rather than using the output on/off command.
Sequence Multiple Outputs
You can specify a turn-on and turn-off delay to control the power-up
and power-down sequencing of the output channels.
Front Panel:
SCPI Command:
Press the Channel key to select an
output. Select the
Output\Delay
.
Select either Turn-on or Turn-off.
Enter a delay in seconds, then
press Select.
To program a 50 millisecond turn-on
delay for output 1 and a 100
millisecond turn-on delay for output 2:
OUTP:DEL:RISE .05,(@1)
OUTP:DEL:RISE .1,(@2)
To turn on outputs 1 and 2:
OUTP ON,(@1,2)
To program a 200 millisecond turn-off
delay for outputs 3 and 4:
OUTP:DEL:FALL .2,(@3,4)
To turn off outputs 3 and 4:
OUTP OFF,(@3,4)
Set the Over-Voltage Protection
When over-voltage protection is enabled, the power system will turn
off its output if the output voltage reaches the over-voltage limit.
Front Panel:
SCPI Command:
Select
Protect\OVP
.
Enter a value in the OVP level box
and press Select.
To set the OVP level for outputs 1 and
2 to 10 V:
VOLT:PROT 10,(@1,2)
Set the Over-Current Protection
When over-current protection is enabled, the power system will turn
off its output if the output current reaches the current limit setting.
Front Panel:
SCPI Command:
Select
Protect\OCP
.
Check the OCP enable box and
press Select.
To enable OCP for output 1 and 2:
CURR:PROT:STAT 1,(@1,2)
