C-4
Notes
Delay is necessary after issuing a setup command, due to the output voltage slew of 100v per 500ms.
On dual range Power Supplies, this command selects the LO or HI voltage range. Dual Ranges are 0-135 volts
and 0-135/0-270 volt. If this command is omitted from the setup string the unit will default to the lowest available
range. On single range units this command will be ignored.
NOTES:
1. The setup command specifies the voltage and frequency of the AC power Supply output. The AC Power
Supply responds only to the last setup command entry. Its memory does not retain previously entered setup
commands.
2. During EIA-232 remote operation, the unit's front panel VOLTS and FREQ must be fully CCW. If the controls
are not set fully CCW, then the output voltage and frequency will be a sum of the programmed value and the
value set with the front controls. Front Panel OUTPUT switch must be set to OFF position.
Front Panel RANGE switch must be set to LO.

CILL COMMANDS EXPLANATION
FETCH DATA COMMAND:
FTH VOLT
<cr><lf><eos> The AC supply responds to this command by transmitting the RMS voltage
(in volts) measured at its output, in decimal format as follows:
<sp><digit><digit><digit><dp><digit><digit><cr><lf><eos>
FTH CURR <cr><lf><eos> The AC Supply responds by transmitting the current (in amps) measured at
its output, in decimal format, as follows:
<sp><digit><digit><dp><digit><cr><lf><eos>
FTH FREQ <cr><lf><eos> The AC Supply response by transmitting the frequency (in hertz) measured
at its output, in decimal format, as follows:
<sp><digit><digit><digit><cr><lf><eos>
CLS :CH0
<cr><lf><eos> Closes output relay contacts. Connects AC Power Supply outputs to output
terminal block. The setup command specifies the voltage and frequency.
The setup-command must be entered before the CLS :CH0 command.
OPN :CH0 <cr><lf><eos> Opens output relay contacts. Disconnects output of AC Power Supply from
output connector. Ac Power Supply retains voltage and frequency assigned
by setup command.
RST ACS:CH0 Resets AC Power Supply to quiescent. The output relay opens and error
messages are erased.
Catastrophic error messages are cleared by reading the Power Supply's
response, by use of the Status command.
CNF
<cr><lf><eos> Instructs AC Power Supply to perform internal confidence test.
STA
command transmits the message. The AC Power Supply responds with
one of the following:
Pass
