PAGE 54
TM-XDOP-01XN.book Page 16 Monday, July 17, 2006 11:19 AM Installation Load Wiring When connecting load wiring to the power supply, consider the following factors: • • • Current carrying capacity of the wire Maximum load wiring length for operation with sense lines Noise and impedance effects of the load lines Current Carrying Capacity As a minimum, load wiring must have a constant capacity greater than the output current rating of the power supply.
PAGE 55
TM-XDOP-01XN.book Page 17 Monday, July 17, 2006 11:19 AM Load Wiring Noise and Impedance Effects To minimize noise pickup or radiation, use the shortest possible length of shielded-twisted pair wiring for load lines. Connect the shield to the chassis via a rear panel mounting screw. Where shielding is not possible or is impractical, twisting the wires together offers some noise immunity.
PAGE 56
TM-XDOP-01XN.book Page 18 Monday, July 17, 2006 11:19 AM Installation Load Connections WARNING Exercise caution when operating the power supply. High energy levels can be stored at the output terminals on a power supply in normal operation. In addition, potentially lethal voltages exist in the power circuit and on the output and sense connectors of a power supply with a rated output greater than 40V. Filter capacitors store potentially dangerous energy for some time after power is removed.
PAGE 57
TM-XDOP-01XN.book Page 19 Monday, July 17, 2006 11:19 AM Load Connections 6. Ensure that the positive and negative wires are arranged so bare wires do not come into contact with each other or the chassis.

TM-XDOP-01XN.book Page 49 Monday, July 17, 2006 11:19 AM Power Supply Operation Slew Rate The slew rate is calculated as a function of change in the output voltage and a given time interval. The maximum slew rate is 1% rated voltage/150us. The slew rate is saved upon power off and restored at power on. Output ON/OFF and shutdown are not affected by the programmable slew rate. These functions have a slew rate of 1%/20ms. The range of output voltage is 5% - 0.1% of rated voltage.
PAGE 112
TM-XDOP-01XN.book Page 50 Monday, July 17, 2006 11:19 AM Operation The combination must not exceed 1%/30us. Though the software will attempt to achieve higher slew rates, it is limited to this value by hardware constraints. The power supply slew rate cannot be faster than the rise and fall times given in the product specifications in Appendix A. Manufacturer's recommendation is to keep the slew rate at or below the default value.

PAGE 188
TM-XDOP-01XN.book Page 2 Monday, July 17, 2006 11:19 AM Current Sharing Overview In many applications multiple power supplies are connected in parallel to supply large currents to a load. Typically, because of differences in the load wiring and supply setpoints, each power supply will provide different amounts of current to the load. Each of the supplies may have to be controlled separately and output transient response may not be optimal.
PAGE 189
TM-XDOP-01XN.book Page 3 Monday, July 17, 2006 11:19 AM Setting up Current Sharing Setting up Current Sharing To set up multiple supplies for current share operation: 1. Configure each supply with a unique multichannel address. See “Multichannel Operation” on page 4–11. 2. Configure the supplies for current sharing. Configure one supply to operate as the master, the others as slaves. Current sharing may be configured either through the front panel menus or by SCPI commands sent via a remote interface.

TM-XDOP-01XN.book Page 4 Monday, July 17, 2006 11:19 AM SCPI Command Reference SCPI Command Hierarchy SCPI is an ASCII-based command language designed for use in high-technology test and measurement equipment. The command structure is organized around common roots, or nodes, which are the building blocks of SCPI subsystems. An example of a common root is CALibration, and some of the commands that reside in the CALibration subsystem are shown below.

TM-XDOP-01XN.book Page 5 Monday, July 17, 2006 11:19 AM Using SCPI Commands Using SCPI Commands Throughout these commands, the optional command [] is available for the units equipped with the optional CANbus interface card. This manual shows SCPI commands in the following format: CALibration:CURRent:LEVel {|MIN|MAX} The command is expressed as a mixture of upper- and lowercase letters. The uppercase letters suggest how the command can be abbreviated into a short form.
PAGE 230
TM-XDOP-01XN.book Page 6 Monday, July 17, 2006 11:19 AM SCPI Command Reference The following punctuation is not sent with the command string: • • • Braces ( { } ) identify a selection of choices. Choose one of the enclosed values. Vertical bars, or pipes, ( | ) separate the choices found within the braces. Angle brackets ( < > ) identify where specific values must be entered for a parameter. For example, in the example at the top of the page, the parameter appears in the command string.
PAGE 231
TM-XDOP-01XN.book Page 7 Monday, July 17, 2006 11:19 AM Using SCPI Commands Terminating Characters Every command string must end with a terminating character. An IEEE-488 EOI (end-or-identify) can be used instead of a character. It is also acceptable to use a followed by a . Terminating a command string always resets the SCPI command path to the root level. Common Commands The IEEE-488.

TM-XDOP-01XN.book Page 8 Monday, July 17, 2006 11:19 AM SCPI Command Reference Parameter Types Several different data types are defined for use in program messages and response messages. Boolean Parameters Boolean parameters are single binary conditions such as 1 and 0, or ON and OFF. The following is an example of a command that uses Boolean parameters: SYST:COMM:GPIB:PONS {ON|OFF|1|0} Discrete Parameters Discrete parameters are used when program settings have a limited number of values.

PAGE 260
TM-XDOP-01XN.book Page 2 Monday, July 17, 2006 11:19 AM Error Messages Overview Errors are placed in a queue as they are detected. The queue works on a first in, first out (FIFO) basis. If the queue overflows, the last error in the queue is replaced with error –350, “Queue Overflow”. When all errors have been read from the queue, further error queries return 0, “No error”. The error queue is cleared when any of the following occur (IEEE 488.2, section 11.4.3.
