6.14.4 Hardware Trigger Example
This example applies only to units with the External User Interface
(Currently only available on Ethernet versions).
Program a unit to execute a test sequence “TEST02” when a hardware
trigger is issued using the External User Interface (the sequence must be
programmed before it can be loaded).
HTRIG:SEQ “TEST02” // load the sequence named “TEST02” into memory.
HTRIG:SEQ? // verify that “TEST02” was loaded.
HTRIG:ARM 1 // arm the hardware trigger.
HTRIG:ARM? // verify that the hardware trigger was armed.
// invoke the hardware trigger.
// sequence “TEST02” will run.
PROG:STAT? // verify that the sequence is running or finished.
6.14.5 Ramp V Example
Program a unit with no load at the output to ramp its output voltage from
5 VDC to 25 VDC in 30 seconds.
Note: The maximum output voltage is dependent upon the power supply rating.
// Use SYST:ERR? after each command to verify no programming errors.
// turn on the unit.
*CLS // clear the unit to its power-on default settings.
*RST // reset the unit.
SOUR:CURR 33.0 // program output current to 33.0 A.
SOUR:VOLT 5.0 // program output voltage to 5.0 VDC.
SOUR:VOLT:RAMP 25.0 30.0 // program voltage to ramp from the present
// value (5.0 VDC) to 25.0 VDC in 30 seconds.
6.14.6 Ramp I Example
Program a unit with the output shorted to ramp its output current from 5A
to 25A in 30 seconds.
// Use SYST:ERR? after each command to verify no programming errors.
// turn on with no load at the output.
*CLS // clear the unit to its power-on default settings.
*RST // reset the unit.
// short the output.
SOUR:VOLT 33.0 // program output voltage to 33.0 VDC.
