6.9.3.1 Acknowledge via the front panel
1. To acknowledge a parallel system via the Front Panel, turn on the master unit, and wait for 5
seconds.
The following appears on the master display: WAIT ACK.
2. To acknowledge, press the Current encoder.
Display blinks, indicating that the parallel system assembly was accepted.
NOTE
If the master power supply is a Blank Panel Option Power Supply, refer to 6.9.3.2
to acknowledge
the parallel system via communication.
6.9.3.2 Acknowledge via communication
1. To acknowledge a parallel system via communication, turn on the master unit, and wait for 5
seconds.
The following appears on the master display: WAIT ACK.
2. To acknowledge, send the SYSTem:PARallel:ACKNowledge command.
6.9.3.3 Acknowledge via communication (Blank Panel master power supply)
1. To acknowledge a parallel system assembled with Blank Panel master power supply, turn on
the master unit, wait 5 seconds.
Read questionable condition register by sending STATus:QUEStionable:CONDition?
command. If paralleling system is ready for acknowledge, questionable condition register
Parallel Acknowledge bit is set (refer to section 7.2.2).
2. To acknowledge, send the SYSTem:PARallel:ACKNowledge command.
NOTE
Factory Reset (FRST) does not affect parallel system assembly acknowledgment. Acknowledged
system units does not change its role.
6.9.4 Advanced Parallel operation
Advanced parallel operation is identical to the single power supply operation. Power supplies
connected in advanced parallel connection form a system. The system is controlled and monitored
by the master unit. Slave units do not receive commands, communications. Front panel buttons
and encoders are disabled. Voltage/Current/Power programming and read-back through
communications and front panel are the parameters of the system (the current and the power
parameters programmed and monitored from the master unit are the total current and power of the
system).
