M88 Series Programmable DC Power Supply Diagram 4.3 Step Mode Automatic Test (>Auto Test) You can check if the equipment is qualified by editing the automatic test files, such as the value set, comparison parameters, delay time, inputting the step number (50 steps at most). 4 data of automatic test files can be edited.
Maynuo Electronic Co., Ltd 10) When the VFD display shows Step 1 Min= xxxxx X,press the numeric keys to set the minimum Enter value for the qualified test, followed by pressing the key to confirm. 11) Repeat from step 5 to step 10 to set all the other steps.
M88 Series Programmable DC Power Supply Diagram 4.4 Remote Measurement Terminals -S and +S are remote measurement terminals; TRQ and TRI are trigger terminals, GND is ground terminal. The TRQ is trigger output port under auto test mode. The TRQ is default as low voltage level. The TRQ provides +5V for external use when the trigger event happens.
Maynuo Electronic Co., Ltd 4.10 Voltmeter Function The voltage of the instrument under test can be measured if the wires are connected together just as the diagram 4.6. The power supply can be worked as a voltmeter as long as it is not measuring the resistance.The accuracy of the voltmeter is 5 1 /2.
Before carrying out the remote operation mode, please use the voltage level converter cable (M131) provided by Maynuo Electronic to connect the DB9 interface connector of the power supply and the RS232 interface connector of the computer for the communication. The M131 aslo can be replaced by the M132(RS485) cable and M133(USB) cable for different application.

M88 series programmable DC power supply supports SCPI communication protocol. SCPI communication protocol is a standard commands for programmable instruments, which defines a standard set of communication commands.Command for M88 series power supply can be divided into two categories: basic commands (IEEE-488.2 Common Command Set) and command specified by M88 series power supply.
Maynuo Electronic Co., Ltd short format mnemonic. If the length is greater than the length of 4 mnemonic, and the fourth character is a vowel, short mnemonic will discard the fourth vowel character and become three characters. Example: Short-type mnemonic of ERRor is ERR, rather than the ERRO.
M88 Series Programmable DC Power Supply Example: If you send command [:]SYST: ERR?,then return command ought to be"0, 'No Error'", or "50, 'Error Para Count'", or "70, 'Invalid Command'" etc.. Command [:]SYSTem:REM Command [:]SYSTem:REM is used to set remote control mode, namely the PC control mode.
Maynuo Electronic Co., Ltd Command [:]MEASure:CURRent? Command [:]MEASure:CURRent? is used to read output current value. Return command: Numeric Return parameters Unit: A Example: Sending command [:]MEAS:CURR?, if return command is 1.245, it means the present output current is 1.245A. Command [:]MEASure:DVM? Command [:]MEASure: DVM? is used to read input voltage of the voltmeter in the power supply.
