Fault Output
Pins 1 and 2 can be configured as a fault-output pair. The polarity of pin
1 can also be configured. Pin 1 is the Fault output; pin 2 is the common
for pin 1. Note that pin 2 must also be connected to pin 8.
The Fault Output function enables a fault condition on any channel to
generate a fault signal on the Digital Control port. The following
conditions will generate a fault event: over-voltage, over-current, over-
temperature, inhibit signal, power-fail condition, or on some models, a
power-limit condition.
Both pins 1 and 2 are dedicated to this function. This provides for an
optically-isolated output. Pin 2’s function is ignored. Note that the Fault
output signal remains latched until the fault condition is cleared. You
must also clear the protection circuit.
Front Panel:
SCPI Command:
Select
System\IO\DigPort\Pins
.
Select pin 1, then Function, then
Fault Out. In the Polarity field,
select either Positive or
Negative.
To configure the Fault function:
DIG:PIN1:FUNC FAUL
To select the fault output polarity:
DIG:PIN1:POL <pol>
Inhibit Input
Pin 3 can be configured as a remote inhibit input. The polarity of pin 3
can also be configured. Pin 8 is the common for pin 3.
The Inhibit Input function lets an external input signal control the output
state of all of the output channels in the mainframe. The signal latency is
5 microseconds. Pin 3 can be programmed for the following Inhibit
modes, which are stored in non-volatile memory:
LATChing
Causes a logic
-true transition on the Inhibit input to disable all outputs.
The outputs will remain disabled after the inhibit signal is received.
LIVE
Allows the enabled outputs to follow the state of the Inhibit input. When
the Inhibit input is true, the outputs are disabled. When the Inhibit input
is false, the outputs are re-enabled.
OFF
The Inhibit input is ignored.
Front Panel:
SCPI Command:
Select
System\IO\DigPort\Pins

Select pin 3, then Function, then
Inhibit In. In the Polarity field,
select either Positive or
Negative.

To configure the Inhibit function:
DIG:PIN3:FUNC INH
To select the inhibit input polarity:

To latch the Inhibit signal:
OUTP:INH:MODE LATC
To set the Inhibit signal live:
OUTP:INH:MODE LIVE
To disable the Inhibit signal:
OUTP:INH:MODE OFF
