Syntax:
Stimulus mode: FNC DCS :CHnn <SET Command>
Sensor mode:
FNC DCS <VOLT or CURR command> :CHnn
Function
:
This operator is used with either the SET command to program a power supply's output (stimulus
mode), or with the VOLT and CURR commands to read its output settings (sensor mode).
Description:
The first operand contains the three (3) letter mnemonic pertaining to the device on the control bus, in
this case DCS (Direct Current Source). If a reading is being set up, the modifier VOLT or CURR fol-
lows. The next operand is used to select the specific channel of the device being programmed or read
from. The MAT can control up to 27 power supplies/power modules with control bus addresses in the
range of 1 to 31.
Example:
FNC DCS :CH12 SET VOLT 15
Power supply at node address 12 commanded to 15V
FNC DCS :CH12 SET CURR 3
Power supply at node address 12 commanded to 3A
FNC DCS VOLT :CH03
Power supply at node address 3 returns value which represents
actual output voltage
FNC DCS CURR :CH21
Power supply at node address 21 returns value which represents
actual output current
NOTE: Actual output voltage and current depends on whether output is enabled or disabled
and load conditions
