which means two bits are set: Constant voltage operation(0x02) and Fold back mode
operation(0x40)
•
Status of the Individual channels can be known by appending the respective
channel number.
•
By knowing the IP address of the Individual unit, condition of the unit can
also be known. Channel enumerated number should still be appended while
querying the individual channel in Asterion DC Multioutput Series power
supply.

Read the Protection Event Status Register by issuing the following command for
respected channel.
STATus<n>:PROTection:EVENt?
Refer for the Protection Event Status Register details. Reading this register clears
the Protection Event Status Register. Or clear the Protection Event Status Register
by issuing a *CLS command or a *RST command. Bits in the Protection Event
Status Register will be set only when the corresponding bit in the Protection Event
Status Enable Register is set and the corresponding event occurs. The status is
then latched and will remain in that state until it is read or cleared due to some
command action.

EGISTER OR FAULT REGISTER
Set the Status Protection Enable Register of each channel with the following
command.
STATus1:PROTection:ENABle <mask> // To set Status Protection Register of
channel 1
STATus2:PROTection:ENABle <mask> // To set Status Protection Register of
channel 2
STATus3:PROTection:ENABle <mask> // To set Status Protection Register of
channel 3
Read the Status Protection Enable Register of each channel with the following query
command.
STATus<n>:PROTection:ENABle?
Protection Enable Register Used to select what fault events could set a bit in the
Fault Register. Certain faults can occur even if they are not enabled in the Protection
Enable Register. This is because the Protection Enable Register merely filters which
events are allowed to affect the Fault Register, not whether those events can occur
or not.
All the events in the protection condition register causes shutdown to the respected
channels output, an exception to this rule involves the Constant Voltage Operation,
