If an over-voltage, over-current, over-temperature, inhibit signal, or a
power-fail condition occurs, the power system turns off the affected
output channel. The PROT annunciator on the front panel will be on.
To clear the protection function and restore normal operation, first
remove that condition that caused the protection fault.
Then, clear the protection function as follows:
Front Panel:
Select Protect\Clear.
Select the Clear button.
The transient system lets you step the output voltage and current up
or down in response to triggered events. To generate a triggered
output step you must:
1. Enable the output to respond to trigger commands.
2. Set the voltage or current trigger levels.
3. Select the transient trigger source.
4. Initiate the trigger system and provide a trigger signal.
First, you must enable the output to respond to trigger commands.
Unless an output is enabled to respond to triggers, nothing will
happen even if you have programmed a trigger level and generated a
trigger for the output. Use the following commands to enable an
output to respond to triggers:
Front Panel:
To enable voltage Step triggering
select Transient\
Select Step and press Select
To enable current Step triggering
select Transient\
Select Step and press Select
In Step mode, the triggered value becomes the immediate value when the
NOTE
trigger is received. In Fixed mode, trigger signals are ignored; the immediate
values remain in effect when a trigger is received.
