  • Page 17: Output Summary

    2.1 Output Summary The power supply has three independent outputs, two of which have adjustable voltage or current values (depending on the operating mode) and the third having selectable 2.5V, 3.3V or 5.0V output. Independent / Parallel / Series The power supply outputs of CH1 and CH2 have three output modes: independent, parallel and series, which can be selected through the track switch on the front panel.
  • Page 18 Understanding Constant Voltage and Constant Current Modes Part A, CV Mode Part B, CC Mode Part C, CV Mode Time The Red line represents Voltage. The Blue line represents Current. The level between the two points represents the user preset maximum output voltage level in this example.
  • Page 19: Ch1/Ch2 Independent Output

    2.2 CH1 / CH2 Independent Output Mode When CH1 and CH2 are working in independent mode, they each output their set voltages and currents on their respective output terminals as shown below. They are isolated from ground. Output rating: 0~32V / 0~3.2A per channel for channels 1 and 2. Operation 1.
  • Page 20: Ch3 Independent Mode

    2.3 CH3 Independent Mode CH3 is independent from CH1 and CH2, and it therefore does not work in parallel or in series mode with CH1 or CH2. Its voltage and current ratings can be set to any of the preset values of 2.5V, 3.3V, or 5V at up to 3.2A. Output ratings: 2.5V / 3.3V / 5V at up to 3.2A.
  • Page 21: Ch1/Ch2 Series Mode

    2.4 CH1 / CH2 Series Mode In series mode, CH1 and CH2 are linked internally into one channel which is controlled by CH1, and the output voltage value is twice that of a single channel. Output rating 0~64V / 0~3.2A Operation:...
  • Page 22: Ch1/Ch2 Parallel Mode

    2.5 CH1 / CH2 Parallel Mode In parallel mode, CH1 and CH2 are linked internally to one channel, which is controlled by CH1. Its output current value is twice as much as that of the single channel current value. Output rating 0~32V / 0~6.4A Operation: 1.

  • Page 25: Timer

    2.8 Timer The timer works in the Independent output mode, and can save five timing setups, each of which is independent from the others. You can set any voltage/current value that is within the range of the instrument. The timer supports consecutive output, and the longest time of each group is 10000s.
  • Page 26 Turn the Timer On or Off Method 1: 1. Press the “1” or ”2” button to select the desired channel on the main interface. 2. Press the direction button to move the cursor to the “TIMER” menu. 3. Turn the multi-function knob to change the Timer setting to “ON” or "OFF". 4.
  • Page 27 If you press the “On/Off” button to turn off the output when the timer is running, the countdown will stop. The countdown will resume when the channel output is turned on again. The Timer will automatically turn off when the time reduces to 0. Note: The timer function is invalid when the series mode or parallel mode is turned on.
  • Page 28: Waveform Display

    2.9 Waveform Display The T3PS3000 can display the changing voltage and current values in real time as a waveform plot. Operation: 1. Select CH1 / CH2, then set the voltage / current parameters. 2. Press the “Wavedisp” button to enter the Waveform Display interface.

  • Page 30: Chapter 3 Remote Control

    SCPI (Standard Commands for Programmable Instruments) is an ASCII based programming language that can be used to control the power supply from a remote computer installed with NI Measurement & Automation software. In this chapter, we introduce the SCPI commands supported by the T3PS3000. Quick Start...
  • Page 31: Syntax Conventions

    3.1 Syntax Conventions Most commands are written in a mixture of upper- case and lower-case letters. The upper-case letters indicate the command's abbreviated spelling, which yields shorter program lines. For better program readability, use the long form. For example: [{CH1|CH2}:]VOLTage <voltage> For the keyword VOLTage, you can type VOLT or VOLTage in any combination of upper- or lower-case letters.

  • Page 40: Chapter 4 Troubleshooting

    Chapter 4 Troubleshooting Question 1: What if a short circuit occurs on the output terminal? Answer 1: There are over current protection and short circuit protection inside the power supply, so current will be kept within a safe range. Question 2: Is there a problem when the CH3 overload indicator is lit? Answer 2: No, that only means the current value has reached 3.2 A, which is the maximum value within its range.
