8.9.3
System Interface Soft Key Preset Commands
These commands allow programming of the output programming preset soft key values for
the front panel user interface of the power source. The same can be accomplished by the
user from the front panel. Using a program to set these value can ensure they are always set
to a known value if this is important for operator use of the power source in a specific test
situation.
8.9.3.1
Preset Syntax
The syntax for all these commands is very similar. Prefix is always
“
SYSTem:INTERFace:PRESET:” followed by the parameter. Available soft key preset parameters are:
VOLTage[:AC]
VOLTage:DC
FREQuency
PHASe
CURRent:LIMit
POWer:LIMit
KVA:LIMit
To program or query a specific soft key number (1 ~ 5), append “SK#” to the command
where # is a value from 1 through 5 for soft key 1 through 5. (Top soft key =1, bottom soft
key = 5).
8.9.3.2
Command parameters
Available softkey parameters are:
MIN
MIN is the preset value for the min allowable setting based on the power
source model
MAX
MAX is the the preset value for the max allowable setting based on the
power source model
DEF
DEF sets the preset value to factory default
Value
A <nr1> value between MIN and MAX may be specified instead.
Up to five sets of parameters can be appended to these commands to program more than
one soft key for the same parameter setting with a single command string.
Example:
SYST:INTERF:PRESET:VOLT MAX, MIN, 108, 140
Programs the voltage AC soft keys as follows:
SK1 = MAX or 300, SK2 = MIN or 0, SK3 = 108, SK4 = 140.
