System Interface Commands - Pacific Power Source AFX Series Operation Manual

8.9.3

System Interface Commands

These commands allow programming front panel user interface controls and functions of
the power source, including the output programming preset soft key values. The same can
be accomplished by the user from the front panel. Using a program to set these value can
ensure they are always set to a known value if this is important for operator use of the
power source in a specific test situation.
8.9.3.1 Preset Syntax
The syntax for all these commands is very similar. Prefix is always
"
SYSTem:INTERFace:PRESET:" followed by the parameter. Available soft key preset parameters are:
• VOLTage[:AC]
• VOLTage:DC
• FREQuency
• PHASe
• CURRent:LIMit
POWer:LIMit
•
• KVA:LIMit
To program or query a specific soft key number (1 ~ 5), append "SK#" to the command
where # is a value from 1 through 5 for soft key 1 through 5. (Top soft key =1, bottom soft
key = 5).
8.9.3.2 Command parameters
Available softkey parameters are:
MIN
•
• MAX
DEF
•
Value
•
Up to five sets of parameters can be appended to these commands to program more than
one soft key for the same parameter setting with a single command string.
Example:
SYST:INTERF:PRESET:VOLT MAX, MIN, 108, 140
Programs the voltage AC soft keys as follows:
SK1 = MAX or 300, SK2 = MIN or 0, SK3 = 108, SK4 = 140.
