Notes:
1. The average current resolution returned is 10ths of amps and the average voltage is hundreths of
volts. The usable resolution of any value is limited to the accuracy and precision of the power
supply as indicated by the product specifications in the power supply manual.
2. Current and voltage readings are average readings.
3. In simulation mode (indicated by the status flags) there is no output and the readbacks are
simulated based on the settings and a simulated load (see the state command ‘a’ for more
information regarding simulation mode).
4. A non-zero alarm flag indicates alarms are present. Use the alarm status message “m” to
determine which alarms are present.
5. Using the global unit address (00) has no affect, no response is sent to commands directed to the
global unit address.
6. The alarm flag is set as soon as any active alarms are set by the controller. This flag will remain set
(1) until the alarm or alarms are read using the alarm status command “m”. This flag does not
indicate that alarms are currently active, only that alarms have been set and have not been read
since they were set. To track currently active alarms the alarm status command should be used
any time the alarm flag is set in the readings command.
7. The active current and voltage settings are the output setting levels that are currently controling
power supply output.
8. The ramp time remaining reflects the amout of time remaining in a ramp operation.
9. The power fail recovery count down in seconds is greater than zero when a power fail recovery
operation is active. If primary power is lost and the power on mode (“t” command) is set to “last”
any channels that were operating when power was lost will resume cycles and return to operate
mode when the power fail recovery count down reaches zero. The power fail recovery can be
canceled by sending a operate state command (“a”). A operate state command of “operate” will
cancel the count down on the specified channel and resume operate mode immediately. A operate
state command of “pause” will end the operate count down on the specified channel and leave the
cycle paused (if it is a timed cycle). A operate state command of “standby” will end the operate
count down on the specified channel and end the cycle.
