3.7.5.17.TO TALK (TLK) MEASURED AND PROGRAMMED DATA
The TLK header will setup the AC Power System to talk data. The TLK header will setup the
AC Power System to report a programmed output parameter if the program header is the
argument for the TLK header.
To setup the AC Power System to report a measured value, attach a measurement header as the
TLK argument. The measurement headers are VLT, CUR, PWR, APW and PWF with an A,
B or C extension and FQM with no extension.
The following string will setup the AC Power System to measure the phase A power output
when it is talk addressed:
TLK PWR A
All arguments for the TLK header are shown in Table 3-13. Table 3-14 shows an example
response for all TLK arguments with no A, B or C extension. For 1-phase systems, all
responses will only include the phase A value. For 3-phase systems, if the TLK argument
includes the A, B or C extension, the response message will be only for the indicated phase.
A GPIB Service Request (SRQ) will be generated at the completion of a measurement if the
SRQ2 header is included with the TLK string. The following string will cause the Service
Request to be generated when the power system is ready to report the power factor
measurement.
TLK PWF SRQ2
3.7.5.18.TO TALK THE MEASURED OUTPUT VOLTAGE (TLK VLT)
VLT may be used as an argument to the header TLK with an A, B or C extension. When used
as an argument, it will set up the AC Power System to measure the output voltage with 0.1 volt
resolution.
When VLT is used as a header in a string with no argument, it will cause the front panel to
display the measured output voltage.
3.7.5.19.TO TALK THE MEASURED OUTPUT CURRENT (TLK CUR)
CUR may be used as an argument to the header TLK with an A, B or C extension. When used
as an argument, it will set up the AC Power System to measure the output current in amps.
When CUR is used as a header in a string with no argument, it will cause the front panel to
display the output current.
