MAT FULL RACK/022300
3-11
6. To take reading the Host Computer sends:
INX VOLT(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 VOLT(cr)(lf)
a.
The MAT then sends the measured (in the example it is -120.09 volts) voltage in scien-
tific notation to the Power Module Controller
b.
The Power Module Controller in turn sends
-1.2009E2(cr)(lf)
8. To reset the Power Module at address 9 the Host Computer sends:
RST DCS :CH9(cr)(lf)
The MAT then programs the output to zero and opens the Output Enable relay.
9. 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)
3.6.3.1.3 EXAMPLE 3: PROGRAM CURRENT AND VOLTAGE LIMIT
1. To program the MAT Power Module MAT 150-7 in current mode with a current of 4 amps and
a voltage limit of 100 volts, the Host Computer sends:
FNC DCS :CH9 SET CURR 4 SET VLTL 100(cr)(lf)
The MAT at address 9, is then set up as a current source giving 4 amps with a voltage limit
of 100 volts
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)
