Power Supply Commands
When a power supply is selected, specific commands are available:
V[-]nnnnn |
|
Set the voltage in millivolts of the current power supply. Return the voltage that is set. Example:
Request: V10003 Reply: V10000 |
|
Innnn | |
Set the limiting current in milliamperes for the current power supply. Return the limiting current that is set.

CV[-]nnnnn | |
Set the calibration of the output voltage. This is the value that is measured by a multi-meter. It returns the voltage that was asked by the last 'V' command and the new calibration voltage. After this, the voltage is calibrated.

Set the calibration of the output current. This is the value that
is measured with a multi-meter. The output current measured internally is adjusted to match the calibrated value. Request: CI1023 Reply: i1000 CI1023 | |
TV[-]nnnnn | |
Set the thresold to choose between the +9 and +18 power supply
to drive the output power supply transistor. If the output power supply is bigger that the thresold, the power supply transistor is driven by the +18V. Otherwise it is driven by the +9V. Request: TV9000 Reply: TV9000 | |

Set the thresold to activate the second current mosfet driver.
If the limiting current is higher than the thresold, both mosfet current transistors are open. Otherwise only one mosfet driver is active. Request: TI600 Reply: TI600 | |
