The Mod. A 1735 – A 1835 and A 1735B – A 1835B boards can be controlled, either
locally or remotely, through the SYX527 software interface. For details on SYX527

ATTENTION
THE MOD. A 1735 and A 1835 BOARDS REQUIRE
SYX527 FIRMWARE VERSION 1.09.04 OR LATER
3.1 Output control and monitoring
For each output channel, it is possible, through the SYX527 system, to perform the
following operations:
• Assign to channel a symbolic name
• Set output voltage (VSET)
• Set max. output current (ISET)
• Set output voltage software limit (SVMAX)
• Set voltage ramp-up speed (RAMP-UP)
• Set voltage ramp-down speed (RAMP-DOWN)
• Set TRIP parameter
• Enable/disable POWER ON option
• Switch channel ON/OFF
• Monitor output voltage (VMON)
• Monitor output current (IMON)
• Monitor channel status
If the POWER ON option is enabled, the channel, at POWER ON, is restored in the same
condition it was before the POWER OFF or RESET; if this option is disabled, at POWER
ON or after a RESET, the channel is kept OFF independently from its previous condition.
The following messages may be returned by the SYX527 when monitoring the channel
status:
• OFF (channel turned OFF)
• RUP (channel ramping up)
• RDWN (channel ramping down)
• OVC (channel in OVERCURRENT condition)
