Constant Current Operation, Constant Power Operation and Foldback Mode
Operation bits. If these bits are not enabled in the protection enable register, then
mode changes shall not cause a shutdown.
Figure 10-1 shows the implementation of the Protection Status Register,
Protection Enable Register and Protection Event Register. To configure the Power
Supply to generate service requests based on the Protection Event Status Register,
program both the Protection Event Status Enable Register and the Service Request
Enable Register (*SRE). See 10.2.2 and Section 14 SCPI Status Implementation
for more details.
