MAT FULL RACK/022300
3-9
2. To verify the previous command was implemented the Host Computer sends:
STA(cr)(lf)
The Power Module Controller sends back (if no errors occur)
(sp)(cr)(lf)
3. To close the Output Enable relay (connects the Power Module to the load) the Host Com-
puter sends:
CLS :CH9(sp)(lf)
The Power Module at address 9, closes the relay
4. To verify the previous command was implemented the Host Computer sends:
STA(cr)(lf)
The Power Module Controller sends back (if no errors occur):
(sp)(cr)(lf)
5. To measure the current at the output the Host Computer sends:
FNC DCS CURR :CH9(cr)(lf)
The MAT at address 9 is now set to take a reading
6. To take a reading the the Host Computer sends:
INX CURR(cr)(lf)
a.
The MAT previously set up now starts to measure and sends the proper time delay
needed for the measurement
b.
The Power Module Controller will send the time delay back to the Host Computer when
it has been Talk Addressed (see specific IEEE 488 interface requirements):
00(cr)(lf)
7. The Host Computer then sends:
FTH CURR(cr)(lf)
a.
The MAT then sends the measured current in scientific notation to the Power Module
Controller (for example 1.9598 amps)
b.
The Power Module Controller in turn sends:
1.9598E0(cr)(lf)
