Controller Description
The AFX Series® power supplies use an advanced command processor that communicates
with the internal power stages using several high speed communication buses and with the
outside world through a variety of interfaces. One of these interfaces is the front panel
keyboard and LCD display which supports manual operation of the AC power source.
The command processor handles all user inputs as well as any analog or digital input
provided to the unit. All power stages are operated autonomously and take input from the
main command processor. For larger power configurations consisting for multiple chassis,
the master unit command processor communicates to all chassis that are connected on the
master/auxiliary interconnect bus.

Measurement Read-back
The voltage, frequency and current limit settings of the AC power source can be set from
the front panel or over any of the available digital remote control interfaces. During
operation, the AC source output voltage, frequency, current and power can be read back for
each of the available output phases.
