Note: all voltage and current levels set via the keyboard are displayed on
a separate 0.3" 4 digit display. This entry preview system ensures that
the user can observe the value entered before it is effected thus avoiding
possible error. The display is also used for setting additional functions
and for displaying watts.
Additional keyboard
functions:
Increase or decrease voltage or current in
user-selectable steps (delta mode).
Store/recall voltage, current & OVP levels from
non-volatile memory (25 memories).
Set digital interface type (RS232 or GPIB), set baud
rate, set address.
DIGITAL INTERFACES (P versions)
RS232:
Variable baud rate, 9600 baud maximum, 9 pin D
connector (male). Fully compatible with standard
RS232 or TTi addressable RS232 system (ARC).
IEEE-488 (GPIB):
Conforming with IEEE488.1 & IEEE488.2.
Operational functions:
Set voltage; set current; set OVP; set output On/Off;
read output voltage/current.
Setting resolution:
Voltage - 10mV; Current - 10mA.
Setting accuracy:
Voltage - ±(0.1% + 10mV);
Current - ±(0.2% + 20mA).
Response times:
Interface - <15ms (single command);
PSU - Depends on Load conditions, typically 150ms
to within 0.1% of final value (except for voltage re-
duction with low load current which will be longer).
Readback resolution:
Voltage - 10mV; Current - 10mA.
Readback accuracy:
Voltage - ±(0.1% + 1 digit);
Current - ±(0.5% +1 digit).
Operating software:
Software for operating the PSUs under GPIB or
RS232 control is available including a Labwindows*
driver and ARC-TALK software for a PC.
