Ramping State Commands and Queries

This query requires that a coil constant be defined, otherwise an error is 
generated.

‡

VOLTage:MAGnet?

Returns the magnet voltage in volts. Requires voltage taps to be installed 
across the magnet terminals.

‡

VOLTage:SUPPly?

Returns the power supply voltage commanded by the Model 420 in volts.

‡

CURRent:MAGnet?

Returns the measured magnet (shunt) current in amperes.

‡

FIELD:MAGnet?

Returns the calculated field in kilogauss or Tesla, per the selected field 
units. This query requires that a coil constant be defined, otherwise an 
error is generated. The field is calculated by multiplying the measured 
shunt current by the coil constant.

4.5.5

Ramping State Commands and Queries

The ramping state commands control and query the ramping state of the 
Model 420. For more information regarding each state, see paragraph 3.3 
on page 52.

If the ramping state is commanded remotely, the front panel display and 
switch LEDs will update and accurately reflect the commanded ramping 
state.

‡

RAMP

Places the Model 420 in the programmed ramping mode. The Model 420 
will continue to ramp at the ramp rate until the programmed current/field 
is achieved.

‡

PAUSE

Pauses the Model 420 at the present operating current/field.

‡

UP

Places the Model 420 in the MANUAL UP ramping mode. Ramping 
continues at the ramp rate until the current limit is achieved.

‡

DOWN

Places the Model 420 in the MANUAL DOWN ramping mode. Ramping 
continues at the ramp rate until the current limit is achieved (or zero 
current is achieved for unipolar power supplies).
