Short Circuit, OPP and OCP Test Examples
9.1
Overview
This appendix provides examples on how to program the built-in test modes of the 42L Series
modular loads. These tests allow commonly used functional testing of power supplies with
minimal programming effort.
The parameters for the Short, Over Power Protection and Over Current Protection tests can all
be programmed over the optional computer interfaces. The following examples may prove
useful.
9.2
SHORT Test
To invoke short circuit testing of a unit under test, send the following sequence of commands to
the load:
SHORT Test
This example sets a short test for 500ms until the STOP command is received.
REMOTE
Set Remote
TCONFIG SHORT
Set SHORT test function
STIME 500
Sets short time to 500ms time*
START
Start SHORT testing
TESTING?
