Command Name: SET DISCHARGE CURRENT LIMIT
Syntax: DL[n]<cr>
Units: amperes
Range: n = 0.00 - 6.00 (MUST BE IN THE FORM n.nn)
Description: Sets the discharge current limit value. This discharge current
will not be allowed to ramp above this value.
MPS-3000 CE FC OR PBN:
The cathode current will ramp down if this value is exceeded. An E02
error message will appear in the discharge current display.
MPS-3000 CE HC:
The discharge current target will not be allowed to be greater than this
value.
Set the discharge current limit to 2.00A using the following command:
DI2.00<cr>
Command Name: SET DISCHARGE CURRENT THRESHOLD
Syntax: DT[n]<cr>
Units: amperes
Range: n = 0.00 - 6.00 (MUST BE IN THE FORM n.nn)
Description: Sets the discharge current threshold value. Refer to the auto
cathode command for a description of the discharge current threshold.
Set the discharge current threshold to 0.05A using the following command:
DT0.05<cr>
Command Name: SET DISCHARGE VOLTAGE
Syntax: DV[n]<cr>
Units: volts
Range: n = 0 - 150.0
Description: Sets the target value for the discharge voltage. When the
source is on, this is the value the discharge voltage will ramp to.
This command is only valid for an MPS-3000 CE FC power supply.
Set the discharge voltage to 55.0V using the following command:
DV55.0<cr>
