Purpose:<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n

Communicate with and control a Hewlett Packard programmable power supply by initializing events, spawning handlers, and processing commands for voltage and current settings.<\/p>\n<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n

Enter:<\/h3>\n
\n
\n

HP_ps<\/strong> <voltage_limit> [current_limit] &<\/p>\n<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n

Where:<\/h3>\n
\n
\n
\n\n\n\n<\/colgroup>\n\n\n\n
\n

voltage_limit<\/p>\n<\/td>\n

\n

Specify the initial voltage limit to set before any other commands are accepted.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

current_limit<\/p>\n<\/td>\n

\n

Optional. Specify the initial current limit to set before any other commands are accepted.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n

Example:<\/h3>\n
\n
\n

HP_ps<\/strong> 14 20 &
\nLaunch the program and set voltage limit to 14.0 volts and current limit to 20 amps,<\/p>\n<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n

Notes:<\/h3>\n
\n
\n

Below is a summary of commands which can be sent to the device, what they return, and the variables associated with each field.<\/p>\n

Command line examples:<\/p>\n

HP_set<\/strong> <action> [value] &<\/p>\n

HP_set<\/strong> v 12 \u2013 set voltage level to 12.0 volts
\nvalue 12.0 stored in “HP_voltage_set”<\/p>\n

HP_set<\/strong> vover 20 \u2013 set voltage limit to 20.0 volts
\nvalue 20.0 stored in “HP_set_overvolt”<\/p>\n

HP_set<\/strong> maxi 30 \u2013 set current limit to 30.0 amps
\nvalue 30.0 stored in “HP_set_max_i”<\/p>\n

HP_set<\/strong> read_vstpt \u2013 read voltage setpoint
\nprints value and stores in “HP_read_set_v”<\/p>\n

HP_set<\/strong> read_vover \u2013 read voltage limit
\nprints value and stores in “HP_read_over_v”<\/p>\n

HP_set<\/strong> read_maxi \u2013 read current limit
\nprints value and stores in “HP_read_max_i”<\/p>\n

HP_set<\/strong> reset \u2013 reset PS to default values<\/p>\n

HP_set<\/strong> enable \u2013 enable output
\nstores value in \u201cHP_outp\u201d<\/p>\n

HP_set<\/strong> disable \u2013 disable output
\nstores value in \u201cHP_outp\u201d<\/p>\n

HP_set<\/strong> read_enable \u2013 read the enable\/disable state
\nprints value and stores value in “HP_outp”<\/p>\n<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n
