General Information - 1 Remotely programming is accomplished from either the GPIB bus or from an RS-232 serial port. GPIB and RS-232 programming uses SCPI commands (Standard Commands for Programmable Instruments) that make the ac source programs compatible with those of other instruments. AC source status registers permit remote monitoring of a wide variety of ac source operating conditions NOTE: Refer to the ac source Programming Guide for further information about remotely programming the ac s

1 - General Information Peak Current/Dynamic Power Capability The ac source can generate peak currents that exceed the rms current capability of the unit. This not only applies when operating in ac mode, but also when programming output pulses in dc mode. Although the unit will generate peak output currents up to 40A (Agilent 6811B/6812B) or 80A (Agilent 6813B), the unit can only maintain this output for a limited time. If the output of the unit exceeds the limit of the safe operating area (SOA)

These initial settings may have to be reduced if the SOA circuit trips when the

1 - General Information RMS Current Limit Circuit The output rms current limit is adjustable to any value within the range of the unit. If the load attempts to draw more current than the programmed limit, the output voltage is reduced to keep the rms current within the limit. When the output voltage is reduced, the waveform shape is preserved. In other words, all parts of the voltage cycle are reduced -- not just the peaks. NOTE: The speed at which the rms current circuit operates depends on th

General Information - 1 CAUTION: Programming the ac source output impedance into a load with a low impedance can cause output voltage instability, which may damage the ac source. Stability MUST be maintained when operating the ac source with programmable resistance or inductance. To check for stability, monitor the output voltage with an oscilloscope. Instability exists if a 5kHz to 20kHz oscillation, which is dependent upon the ac source’s programmed inductance and the capacitance of the load,
