SIG123, SIG123? –
Analog Interface Signal Outputs
Menu
Function
Two floating signal outputs (SIG 1 and SIG 2) and one signal
output with reference to AGND 2 (SIG 3) are provided at the
analog interface. They can be used to trigger control functions in
the application. Different device functions and statuses can be
assigned to these signals.
Setting Command
Syntax: SIG123 txt1,txt2,txt3
Default setting
or after RESET (*RST):
OFF
Query Command
Syntax: SIG123?
Sample response string: SIG123 txt1.txt2.txt3
Parameters List
1
The signal outputs can be logically linked using the comparison function. The
reference values are defined by parameters w1, w2, w3 and w4 from the UI_C_SET
command. Momentary measured voltage and current values are compared with
these parameters and evaluated.
SINK, SINK? – Sink Function On/Off
Menu
Function
The device is equipped with a sink function for improved dynamic
characteristics, which can be activated or deactivated as desired.
After an OUTPUT OFF command, the sink is deactivated (if initially
activated) after a specified period of time (300 ms).
Setting Command
Syntax: SINK txt
Parameter txt: OFF/ON
Default setting
or after RESET (*RST):
ON
Query Command
Syntax: SINK?
Sample response string: SINK txt
SM_LOAD – Load Sequence Memory Location
Menu
Function
The content of a memory location can be loaded in a targeted
fashion with the SM_LOAD command. The USET, ISET, TSET and
FSET parameters are entered to the current device settings
during this procedure. USET and ISET are read out at the power
output in the case of OUTPUT ON.
Setting Command
Syntax: SM_LOAD n
Value range: 1 ≤ n ≤ 1536
SM_STORE – Store to Sequence Memory Location
Menu
Function
The contents of the USET, ISET, TSET and FSET parameters from
the current device settings can be written to the specified
memory location with the SM_STORE command.
The range of memory locations between the start and stop
addresses can be cleared with the SM_STORE 0 command.
These memory locations are then in the empty state (CLR).
Setting Command
Syntax: SM_STORE n
Value range: 1 ≤ n ≤ 1536
Special case n = 0 (delete range)
SSET, SSET? – Command for an Assigned Switching Function
(signal level switching function)
Menu, SSET Key
Function
The SSET switching status can be controlled with the SSET
setting command or with the corresponding FSET parameter
(S_ON/SOFF) of the sequence function. The SSET switching
function can then be linked with analog interface functions for
switching the signal outputs SIGx (command: SIG123) and/or for
controlling the analog inputs Uext and Iext (command:
ANALOG_IN).
Setting Command
Syntax: SSET txt
Parameter txt: OFF/ON
Default setting
or after RESET (*RST):
OFF
Query Command
Syntax: SSET?
Sample response string: SSET txt
