Auto Sequencing
Auto Sequencing allows users to program a sequence for automated operation. Up
to 10 programmable sequences may be stored with up to 99 steps per sequence. Each
step can be programmed to set the voltage setpoint, current setpoint, and OVP level.
The steps are either programmed to run for a specific length of time or are
programmed to pause and wait for a trigger input before continuing. The duration of
each step may range from 10 ms to 99 hours.
Each sequence can be programmed to run a set number of repetitions or indefinitely.
If the sequence contains steps that advance by a trigger event, a single trigger source
can be selected to advance those steps.
Users can select and start a sequence, and while the sequence is running, pause or
end it at any time. Users can also skip to the next step at any time.
Commands are also available to let users run, pause, resume, and restart an
autosequence. A pause, or wait for trigger, causes the power supply to hold the
output at the programmed level until the appropriate signal to continue is received.
Programming
a Sequence
Select Sequence to Program
Using the following command, select a sequence that you want to work with.
Sequences are identified with a number from 1 to 10.
PROGram:NAME <sequence_number>
<sequence_number>
is a number between 1 and 10 that corresponds to the
number of the sequence.
If
<sequence_number>
already exists, then that existing program is selected. If
the program name does not exist, then the new name is selected, but no program is
defined by this selection.
!
CAUTION
Setpoint limits do not apply to auto sequence programmed setpoints.
