NOTE!
The Windows based application program «AutoStar» allows full remote control and
test sequences to be developed within the graphical Windows environment.
The generator supports either USB or RS 232 and GPIB communication. The syntax of these commands is
discussed in chapter 3.2.4
Remote programming. However, AutoStar is programmed with these commands
and therefore, detailed understanding of the syntax is unnecessary unless the system is to be integrated into
another software package other than AutoStar.
3.2.3.4 HV-supply
This unit is used to charge the pulse generators. It is a solid state electronic power supply that is capable of
supplying the necessary high energy bursts of power required to charge all of the pulse generator capacitors
used in modules contained in the NSG 5500 mainframe system.
The HV - supply is fully programmable and is controlled on the internal
bus by the control unit.
