System 9700 User Manual 3.3. Operating by RS 232-C, RS422 or RS 485 I/O. The Power Supply uses standard serial interfaces compatible with many computers, PCs and terminals. Two data communication lines are available: A REMOTE LINE, with either RS232, RS422 or RS485 communication.
Page 24
If one of the setup modes is selected, the yellow LED D24 below switch SW3 will illuminate and indicate that the setup port is activated. The eight red LEDs, D13-D20 below switch SW4 will show the present parameter of selected mode. Changing SW4 has no immediate effect, only after pressing S4 SETUP, will the red LEDs (D13 to D20) take the same indication as SW4.

System 9700 User Manual 3.3.1.5. AUX SETUP (Esc<AUX) Special options can be initiated with the auxiliary switch setup 1. Setting of bit 16 and 17 is intended for offset DAC use. That is a 16-bit setting between 88 and 96% (bit 16=0 & bit 17=1) or between 92% and 100% output current (bit 16=1 & bit 17=1).
Page 30
3.3.1.6. POLARITY DELAY TIME SETUP (Esc<POLDELAY) A time delay can be inserted between the OFF state and activation of the polarity changeover switch. The range of the time delay can be set from 0 to 25.5 seconds, (in steps of 100ms). This allows the residual energy in the magnet to decay.

GAIN adjustment The GAIN adjustment can automatically adjust the scaling factor of the selected channel to only nines. For example, 99999 for the 16-bit output current reading. This adjustment is only useful for the output current and voltage read back (CH0, CH2, CH8, CH11 and CH12). Do not use this feature if the output reading is in Volts and Amps and for not applicable channels.

To auto-adjust to a specific value, use the “Esc” DASET command. (DAC setting in Amps) To activate the automatic GAIN adjustment the following steps must be performed: ...
3.3.2. Data communication The SYSTEM 9700 uses the standard serial interface RS422 that is compatible with many computers and terminals. Besides RS422, SYSTEM 9700 supports RS232 and RS485. The connectors for the serial interface ports “REMOTE CONTROL” and “LOCAL CONTROL” are found at the back of the power supply.
Pin 4 /RX_REM For default serial settings, see section 3.3.1.1 UART HW SET UP (Esc<BAUD) The communication is done by transmitting characters in ASCII code terminated by CARRIAGE RETURN. The termination characters from the Power Supply are CARRIAGE RETURN and LINE FEED. An ERROR message includes a "?BELL".
When using the "Always Answer" mode, a re-transmission of the last given command can HINT be performed if no answer or an error message is received. The MPS 9700 response time is around 5ms after receiving the last bit of the termination character.
3.3.5. Software Profile Programming (Optional) The MPS 9700 is delivered with the software ramp profile option. With the ramp profile SW it is possible to download and run a predefined ramp sequence that the output current must follow. The ramp sequence can be programmed using two quite different methods.

System 9700 User Manual 3.3.5.1. Arbitrary point ramp profile method With the “arbitrary point method”, it is possible to download up to fifteen independent points each generating a ramp line (through interpolation). This profile must be stored in one of the 15 available stacks.
Page 40
Where “START” and “END” are the set values in ppm, the “Step Time” is 1.25ms, Δt in seconds and the “Step Size” will come out as ppm value. In between the 1.25ms step time, a second HW interpolation counter will update the set value for every 78μs (fast ramp times) to about 78μs (slow ramp times).
