System Specification
Parameter
Specification
External Modulation:
0 to 10%
Synchronization Input:
Isolated TTL input for external frequency control. Requires 5V at 5 mA for logic high.
Trigger Input:
External trigger source input. Requires TTL level input signal. Triggers on negative edge.
Response time 80 - 100
s.
Trigger Output:
Programmable through transient list system. 400
s pulse for voltage or frequency change.
Isolated TTL output. Output reverts to Function strobe when not uses as Trig Out. This
function is mutually exclusive with the Function Strobe output.
Function Strobe:
Active for any voltage or frequency program change. 400
s pulse for voltage or frequency
change. Isolated TTL output. This function is mutually exclusive with the Trigger Output.
Same output is used for Trigger Output if Trigger Output is programmed as part of list
system.
Output Status:
Monitors status of output relay. Isolated TTL output. High if output relay is closed, low if
output relay is open.
Non volatile memory
storage:
16 complete instrument setups and transient lists, 100 events per list.
Waveforms Sinewave
only
Transients
Voltage: drop, step, sag, surge, sweep
Frequency: step, sag, surge, sweep
Voltage and Frequency: step, sweep
IEEE-488 Interface:
SH1, AH1, T6, L3, SR1, RL2, DC1, DT1
Syntax: IEEE 488.2 and SCPI
Response time is 10 ms (typical)
RS232C Interface:
Bi-directional serial interface
9 pin D-shell connector
Handshake: CTS,
RTS
Data bits: 7, 8
Stop bits: 1,2
Baud rate:
9600 to 115,200 bps
Syntax: IEEE 488.2 and SCPI.
Note
: Disconnect any USB connection when using the RS232 interface.
USB Interface:
Standard USB 1.1 peripheral.
Data transfer rate: 460,800 bps
Syntax: IEEE 488.2 and SCPI.
Note:
Use of the USB port to control more than one power source from a single
PC is not recommended, as communication may not be reliable. Use GPIB
interface for multiple power source control.
LAN Interface:
Option –LAN. When the LAN interface is installed, the RS232 interface is disabled.
RJ45 Connector, 10BaseT, 100BaseT or 1000BaseT,
Data transfer rate: 460,800 bps
Protocol: TCP/IP.
Syntax: IEEE 488.2 and SCP
Note
: Disconnect any USB connection when using the LAN interface.
Current Limit Modes:
Two selectable modes of operation:
1.
Constant current mode (voltage folds back with automatic recovery)
2.
Constant voltage mode with trip-off (Relays open).
