CUSTOM OPTIONS

This section describes the two custom software options in more depth and describes two
orderable custom hardware sets.

Custom Software

2 SETPOINT, 4 TARGET SOFTWARE

Adds Target/Setpoint Functionality
This 2 Setpoint/4 Target software version lets you use a single supply in two processes while
maintaining a setpoint and two target counters for each process.
For each process, you can program one setpoint for two targets. Essentially, you have access to
four targets rather than eight and can maintain two setpoints. The setpoints are assigned to
specific targets so that
Setpoint[0]: targets 1 and 3
Setpoint[1]: targets 2 and 4
For example, by switching to target 2 , you can run the process that requires Setpoint [1] while
the process that requires target 1 at Setpoint [0] is indexing or readying to run. Thus by
selecting the target, you also select which setpoint variable to use.
Note: When you use serial port commands to set a setpoint and the setpoint is not active
(selected by the active target), the updated setpoint does not display on the panel.
We have added the following new serial port commands to support this option:
• Command 67: load setpoint (dual)
• Command 141: dual setpoint request
Adds Joule Mode
This software version also implements a joule mode feature that lets you select the amount of
energy you want to deliver to the load. This energy is calculated on 10 ms filtered values of
voltage and current. Because the calculation is in discrete time steps and the values used to
calculate the energy are filtered, the longer the run the better the accuracy. If the accuracy is
not adequate for your application, ease the filter corner frequency or disable the filter
completely.
We have added the following new serial port commands to support this option:
• Command 34: joule mode enable
• Command 70: joule setpoint
• Command 145: joule setpoint request
