HARACTERISTICS
The Model 430 Programmer has been designed to perform with various
power supplies to allow the user the greatest degree of system flexibility.
The power supply and Programmer combination are categorized by one
of three forms:
single-quadrant
,
dual-quadrant
, and
four-quadrant
. For
sake of clarity, the term
quadrant
is defined as one of four areas of a
cartesian coordinate system where the abscissa is current and the
ordinate is voltage. Refer to the figure below:
NOTE
The resistive current measurement shunt in the following system
diagrams, which is internal to the Model 430 chassis, can be
optionally replaced with an external high-stability, precision zero
flux current measurement device for additional cost. This is
termed the “High-Stability” option for AMI power supply
systems.

PERATION
The simplest form of a Programmer-Power Supply system is the single-
quadrant system as illustrated in the figure at the top of the following
page. The system is composed of a Model 430 Programmer, unipolar
power supply, and superconducting magnet.
This system allows current to flow in a single direction in the magnet
thereby giving a magnetic field vector of varying magnitude but in a
single direction. This corresponds to operating in quadrant
