UV Under Voltage

Description

This command is used to set the Programmable Under Voltage

threshold. When the input voltage drops below this threshold the

load will disconnect from the device under test and indicate an

Under Voltage fault. Unlike the hardware Under Voltage, the load

will not automatically reconnect when the Voltage rises above the

threshold. Setting the Programmable Under Voltage to zero will

disable it. The programmable Under Voltage operation is not

affected by the UV bit in the Shutdown (SDN) register.

Command Syntax

UV <NR2>

Example

UV 9.6

This will set the Programmable Under Voltage to 9.6 Volts. The

load will shutdown if the Voltage on its input terminals drops below

this threshold.

UV 0

This will disable the Programmable Under Voltage feature.

Query Syntax

UV?

Returned Parameters Text On: <NR2> volts

Text Off: <NR2>

V? Read Voltage

Description

This query returns the actual Voltage in Volts measured at the load’ s

Voltage sense terminals.

NOTE:

If remote Voltage sensing is not used, this voltage may differ

from the output voltage of the device. This is due to the Voltage

drops in the conductors between the load and the device under

test. Therefore remote voltage sensing is recommended when

high currents are involved.

Command Syntax
