801RP / 1251RP - Easy Transient Programming
Extensive Transient Control1
With the addition of the remote control interface option, 801RP and
1251RP units are capable of producing transients with a high degree
of user programmability. Setting up transient programs is facilitated
by a Windows Graphical User Interface program that allows ampli-
tude, frequency and event duration to be programmed from a PC.
Time resolution is 1 ms (0.001 sec) with a minimum time interval
ranging from 10 to 40 ms, depending on the transient type. Transient
programming allows the effects of common line disturbances such
as voltage surges, sags, drop-outs and frequency fluctuations on the
unit under test to be evaluated.
Drop transient causes output voltage to Remote or Local Operation
drop to zero for a user specified period.
For automated test equipment (ATE) applications, the RP Series
units can be outfitted with both IEEE-488 and RS232C using the -IF
option. A front panel lock out mode is supported on both models if
operator interaction with the AC source is not required or desired.
SCPI Protocol Programming Commands
All functions of the 801RP and 1251RP are completely program-
mable over the IEEE-488 or RS232C bus. For example, the
following tasks can be performed over the bus:
· Set voltage to any level
· Change frequency
· Generate 10 ms or longer voltage dropouts
Voltage Surge transient causes output · Measure rms current, voltage and apparent power
voltage to surge · Recall eight complete instrument setups from non-volatile
memory with a single SCPI command
· Reset the instrument
· Adjust current limit value
· Lock the front panel to prevent operator interference
· Switch between high and low voltage range
· Turn output on and off
Application Software
Windows 98TM or Windows 2000TM application software is included
with the remote control interface option. This easy to use graphical
interface program provides complete control over all instrument func-
tions using either the RS232C or IEEE-488 interface. With enhanced
