Page 54: Load Wiring
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: Noise And Impedance Effects
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: Load Connections
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.
Page 57: Multiple Loads
6. Ensure that the positive and negative wires are arranged so bare wires do not come into contact with each other or the chassis. To connect the DC output wire clamp connectors (300V, 600V outputs): ◆ Connect appropriately sized wires as described in steps 1 to 6 above, except strip 0.5 in.

Page 62: Remote Sensing
Installation Remote Sensing The power supply regulates the output voltage at the output connectors in its normal configuration without remote sense lines connected. Remote sensing lets the power supply track and regulate the output voltage at the load, and thereby compensate for the voltage drop in the load lines. The power supply will only compensate within the limitations of its voltage rating, to a maximum of 5V per load line.
Page 63: Operation
Operation Chapter 3 explains how to power on and power off the power supply. It provides information about configuring the power supply, and also gives procedures for operating the supply via the front panel controls and menu functions.

Page 187: Current Sharing
Current Sharing Chapter 5 explains what current sharing is, and shows how to configure and operate units in current sharing mode.
Page 188: Overview
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.
Page 189: 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.
Page 190 Current Sharing STAT:OPER:CSH:COND? See Table 4-14, “Current SHare Sub-Register” on page 4–50 for a description of the bits in this register. 3. Connect the CANbus ports of all paralleled units and install terminators. See figure below. Connect the CANbus ports in series, linking the first power supply to the second using a parallel male DB9 to female DB9 cable, and then the second to the third using a second cable, etc.
Page 191: Operation
Operation Operation Once a current sharing network is setup, you may adjust the voltage and current limit setpoints on the master. The master will automatically adjust the setpoints of the slave units to equalize the current output of all units. You may also disable or enable the output of the master, automatically disabling or enabling the output of all slaves.
Page 192: Errors
Current Sharing Errors The master annuciator will flash if it does not detect any slave units on the network. The slave annunciator will flash if it does not detect a master on the network. Check the cable and the master configuration. A master or slave will be disabled from current sharing (set to "No share") if: •...

Page 228: Scpi Command Hierarchy
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.
Page 229: Using Scpi Commands
Using SCPI Commands Throughout these commands, the optional command [<channel>] is available for the units equipped with the optional CANbus interface card. This manual shows SCPI commands in the following format: CALibration:CURRent:LEVel {<current>|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: Using Minimum And Maximum
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. •...
Page 231: Terminating Characters
Terminating Characters Every command string must end with a terminating <new line> character. An IEEE-488 EOI (end-or-identify) can be used instead of a <new line> character. It is also acceptable to use a <carriage return> followed by a <new line>. Terminating a command string always resets the SCPI command path to the root level.
Page 232: Parameter Types
SCPI Command Reference Parameter Types Several different data types are defined for use in program messages and response messages. Boolean Boolean parameters are single binary conditions such as 1 and 0, or ON and OFF.

Page 257: Expressions
Notes: All legacy commands that change a value conform to the same rules as SCPI. Commands will cause an error if the unit’s remote source, remote state, current share mode status and calibration status is incorrect. Legacy commands do not have multichannel capabilities. Query commands return a string containing the command itself.
Page 258 Table C-16 Expressions Expression Details power A numeric value as defined by SCPI. May also be MAXimum or MINimum. May include power-related suffix units such as “mW”, “uW”, “W”, etc. Range is 0 to 101% of model’s rated power. setting_location A numeric indication of an internal set of setting registers.
Page 259: Error Messages
Error Messages Appendix D lists all the error codes and their meanings.
Page 260: Overview
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”.
Page 261: Execution Error List
Execution Error List An error in the range [-299, -200] indicates that an error has been detected by the instrument’s execution control block. The occurrence of any error in the class causes the execution error bit (bit 4) in the Event Status Register to be set. Execution errors are reported by the device after rounding and expression evaluation operations have taken place.
Page 262 Error Messages Table D-2 Execution Error List Error code Error Message Description -284 -285 -290 D–4 Program currently running Certain operations dealing with auto sequence programs may be illegal while the program is running. For example, deleting a running program is not possible.
Page 263: Device-Specific Error List
Device-Specific Error List An error in the range [-399, 300] or [1, 32767] indicates that the instrument has detected an error which is not a command, query or, execution error; some device operations did not properly complete, possibly due to an abnormal hardware or firmware condition.
Page 264: Query Error List
Error Messages Query Error List An error number in the range [-499, -400] indicates that the output queue control of the instrument has detected a problem with the message exchange protocol described in IEEE 488.2, chapter 6. The occurrence of any error in this class causes the query error bit (bit 2) in the Event Status Register to be set.
