Querying And Clearing Output Protection And Errors - Agilent Technologies 66319B User Manual

To make minor changes to an existing value, press Current. The procedure to change
3.
an individual digit is explained in step 3 under "Set the output 2 voltage."
NOTE:
To draw current pulses greater than 1.5 A and up to 2.5 A peak on output 2, set the
output current limit higher than 1.5 amperes (1.52 amperes max). Do not enable OCP, or
else make sure that the protection delay setting is longer than the expected current pulse.
Enable the output
Action
1. On the Function keypad, press Output On/Off to enable output 2. The Dis
annunciator will go off, indicating that the voltage is now applied to the output
terminals. The display indicates the actual output values. Note that when the outputs
are coupled, this command also enables or disables output 1.

4 - Querying and Clearing Output Protection and Errors

If an overvoltage, overcurrent, overtemperature or remote inhibit condition occurs, the Prot annunciator
on the front panel will be on and the dc source will disable its output. If necessary, you can disable the
overcurrent or overvoltage protection circuit if its operation interferes with the proper operation of your
phone test. Note that if you disable the overvoltage protection, the equipment under test will not be
protected from output voltage overshoot conditions. You can also disable the broken sense lead detect
circuit if you have an application where an external voltage applied to the output may interfere with the
broken sense lead detect circuitry.
Error messages can occur at any time during the operation of the unit. When the Err annunciator on the
front panel is on it means that either an error has occurred on the GPIB bus, or a selftest error has
occurred. Appendix C lists error numbers and descriptions.
Query and clear the dc source overcurrent protection as follows:
Action
1. On the Function keypad, press Protect. In this example, an over current condition
has occurred. Refer to Table 4-2 for other protection indicators.
2. On the Function keypad, press Current. This displays the present current limit.
3. To restore normal operation after the cause of the overcurrent condition has been
removed, press Shift, Prot Clr. The Prot annunciator then will go off.
4. To disable overcurrent protection, press Shift, OCP. This key toggles between OCP
enabled and disabled. The OCP annunciator is off when OCP is disabled.
Disable Overvoltage Protection as follows:
On the Function keypad, press Shift, OV. Use the & key and select OFF to disable
1.
the overvoltage protection function. Then press Enter. To recall this state when the
unit turns on, save this state in location 0 and set the power-on state to RCL 0 (see
example #10).
Query and Clear Errors as follows:
1. On the Function keypad, press Shift, Error. This displays and clears the error in
the error queue. Repeatedly press these keys to clear all errors in the queue. If errors
persist, your unit may require service.
