Table 4.2 - EPS200 Mode Bits in the Status Value
The Local/Remote switch bit (D5) will be set when the front panel switch is in the
remote position and cleared when the switch is in the local position. The program
run/stop bit (D2) will be set when a program is running and the bit will be cleared when
a program is aborted or has completed.
The polarity bit (D3) is cleared when the power supply output is in a positive polarity
mode and the bit will be set when the power supply output is in a negative polarity
mode, whether high voltage is actually present or not. The polarity bit will be static
until a PP, NP or TP command is received.
The remaining bits are set when the indicated condition is active and reset when they
are inactive.
4.3.3. (RP) Return program status. The RP command returns the number of the
selected program, the program step number that is currently executing (if any), and the
activity of the program (running or stopped).
Send:
>0 RP [CR]
Receive:
>0 P0 01 S [CR]
In this example, the selected program is program zero (P0), the current step is step one
(01) and the program is stopped (S). If a program is running, the last character will be
a (R).
4.3.4. (MI) Measure current at terminals. The MI command returns the measured
value of the EPS200 output current. The value is expressed in microamps. The sign
will be positive (+) or negative (-).
Send:
>0 MI [CR]
Receive:
>0 -250 [CR]
4.3.5. (MV) Measure volts at terminals. The MV command returns the measured
value of the voltage at the EPS200 output terminals. The voltage value is expressed in
volts. The sign will be positive (+) or negative (-).
Send:
>0 MV [CR]
Receive:
>0 +750 [CR]
4.3.6. (RC) Return compliance value. The RC command returns the value of the
voltage compliance window, in volts, as set by the SC command.
Send:
>0 MV [CR]
Receive:
>0 10 [CR]
