MAT 6V/15V/25V/36V/ 022300
d.
The MAT previously set up now starts to measure and send the proper time delay
needed for the measurement.
e.
The Power Module Controller will send the time delay value back to the Host Com-
puter when it has been properly Talk Addressed (see specific IEEE 488 interface
requirements):
00(cr)(lf)
1.
The Host Computer then sends:
FTH CURR(cr)(lf)
a.
The MAT then sends the measured current in scientific notation to the Power Module
Controller (for example 9.9998 amps) which
b.
The Power Module Controller in turn sends
9.9998E0(cr)(lf)
3.
Check that the front panel meter reading and the computer are identical within their mea-
surement tolerance. The meter selection switch must be set to "Current" for a reading.

EXAMPLE 3: TO RESET THE POWER MODULE
4.
To reset the Power Module at address 3 the Host Computer sends:
RST DCS :CH3(cr)(lf)
5.
To verify the RST command was implemented, the Host Computer sends:
STA(cr)(lf)
The Power Module Controller sends back (if no errors occur):
(sp)(cr)(lf)
6.
This concludes the preliminary check-out of the MAT Power Module.
