FIGURE C-5. RST — RESET COMMAND
FIGURE C-6. CNF, IST — CONFIDENCE TEST, INTERNAL SELF TEST COMMANDS
Syntax: RST DCS :CH1
Function: This operator is used to return a power supply to its power-on state. The output voltage and current
are programmed to zero.
Example: RST DCS :CH1 The power supply is reset.
RST
Syntax: CNF or IST
Function: Causes power supply to execute confidence test.
Description: The CNF operator commands the BOP to execute the confidence test procedure defined for the BOP
power supplies (IST is functionally identical to CNF for BOP power supplies). The procedure consists
of programming voltage and current to their maximum values, checking for error flags, then program-
ming voltage and current to zero. The results of CNF are obtained through the STA command.
Example: CNF Power supply executes confidence test.
IST Power supply executes self test.
