LOCAL CONTROL
Front panel keypad entries are utilized for setting and adjusting output voltage and current
under local control. The keypad's keys are organized to either directly execute commands, or to
introduce a program that can either be run once or cycled. Calibration of the unit is facilitated by
a password -protected, menu-driven procedure from the front panel.
1.5
REMOTE CONTROL
The ABC Power Supply can be remotely controlled directly via either the IEEE 488.2 (GPIB)
bus or RS 232 serial bus using SCPI commands. All features available in local mode can also
be accessed remotely. The unit is shipped with a VISA (Virtual Instrumentation Software Archi-
tecture) driver to facilitate remote programming of the ABC Power Supply. The VISA translates
function calls made in standard C language to SCPI commands.

FEATURES
1.6.1
DIGITAL CALIBRATION
The ABC Power Supply contains no internal adjustments. Calibration is done entirely via the
keypad using digital entries and a calibrated DVM and precision shunt resistor. Calibration
instructions appear on the front panel after a password is entered; previous calibration values
are saved and can be restored if desired. The original factory calibration values can also be
restored. (Refer to Section 4.)
1.6.2
OVERVOLTAGE/OVERCURRENT PROTECTION
Overvoltage and Overcurrent protection values can be individually programmed. The maximum
values are listed in Table 1-2. Refer to PAR. 3.3.9.
1.6.3
PROGRAMMABLE OVERVOLTAGE/OVERCURRENT DELAY
Changing the output settings may cause large output transients (common with reactive loads)
that can trip the overvoltage/overcurrent protection. The ABC can be programmed to delay trip-
ping of overvoltage/overcurrent protection when output settings are changed to avoid inadvert-
ent tripping. After the delay, the programmed overcurrent/overvoltage setting is effective.
Protection can be delayed up to approximately 8 seconds after the output settings are changed.
Refer to PAR. 3.3.10.
1.6.4
NON-VOLATILE STORAGE OF PROGRAMMED SEQUENCES OR ACTIVE SETTINGS
The ABC Power Supply contains 40 memory locations that can be used either to preprogram a
sequence of output values or to store the active settings. For programming sequences each
memory location accommodates six parameters: output voltage, output current, Overvoltage,
Overcurrent, Time (how long the parameters are in effect) and the next address in the
sequence. Values are stored in the non-volatile memory, and are retained when the unit is
turned off. Refer to PAR. 3.3.12.
The same 40 memory locations are also available to save the active programmed settings
(V SET, I SET, OV SET and OC SET). The saved setting can be recalled by specifying the
memory location.
