Abbriviations, Symbols & Terms C - 7
PROGRAMMING RESOLUTION
Average programming step size. That is the smallest change that can be obtained
either using the front panel keys or a controller.
PROGRAMMING RESPONSE TIME
The maximum time for the output to settle to a programmed value within a settling
band, after having finished executing the settle command.
READBACK ACCURACY
Maximum error in the readback value of an output voltage or current (at
calibration temperature 2 C).
REMOTE MODE (opposite of the LOCAL mode)
In this mode the power supply is programmed remotely from your PC via the
GPIB.
REMOTE SENSING
A way of sensing in which a power supply monitors the voltage directly at the load
via the extra sensing wires. The resulting circuit action compensates for the
voltage drop in the wires to the load up to a maximum of 1 volt total.
SOURCE EFFECT (line regulation)
The maximum change in the steady state of the regulated output voltage or
current, resulting from any change in the AC voltage source within the specified
values.
STANDBY MODE (opposite of the OPERATE mode)
In this mode the power supply is operable, but the output channels are disabled
(no power is supplied).
TEMPERATURE COEFFICIENT
The maximum change in the regulated output voltage or current per degree
Celsius following a change in the ambient temperature after a 30 minute warm-up
time.
