Using The Enhanced Monitoring System 4-3
What To Do Now
When writing commands to operate the Model 1261B EMS,
follow the instructions in this chapter to understand the meaning
and response that each command generates. Examples
contained in the following paragraphs show basic techniques on
how to program output waveforms.
Measuring Power
Supply Voltages
The “MEAS:VOLT” command is used to measure the voltage
presently being output by one of the seven VXI power supplies.
The following commands may be used:
MEAS:VOLT1?
-- m5V PS Voltage
MEAS:VOLT2?
-- measure -5.2V PS Voltage
MEAS:VOLT3?
-- measure -2V PS Voltage
MEAS:VOLT4?
-- m24V PS Voltage
MEAS:VOLT5?
-- measure -24V PS Voltage
MEAS:VOLT6?
-- m12V PS Voltage
MEAS:VOLT7?
-- measure -12V PS Voltage
Each of these causes the 1261B EMS to reply with a value
formatted as a real number. The number is rounded to the
nearest 0.01 VDC.
Measuring Power
Supply Currents
The “MEAS:CURR” command is used to measure the current
presently being output by one of the seven VXI power supplies.
The following commands may be used:
MEAS:CURR1?
-- m5V PS Current
MEAS:CURR2?
-- measure -5.2V PS Current
MEAS:CURR3?
-- measure -2V PS Current
MEAS:CURR4?
-- m24V PS Current
MEAS:CURR5?
-- measure -24V PS Current
MEAS:CURR6?
-- m12V PS Current
MEAS:CURR7?
-- measure -12V PS Current
Each of these causes the 1261B EMS to reply with a value
formatted as a real number. The number is rounded to the
nearest 0.1 ADC.
Measuring
Ambient
Temperature
The “MEAS:TEMP14” command is used to measure the ambient
temperature.
MEAS:TEMP14?
-- measure ambient temperature
This command causes the 1261B EMS to reply with a value
formatted as a real number. The number is rounded to the
nearest 1 degree Celsius.
