BOP Bipolar Power Supply with BIT 4886 Digital Interface Card

class pymeasure.instruments.kepco.KepcoBOP3612(adapter, name='Kepco BOP 36-12 Bipolar Power Supply', **kwargs)

Bases: SCPIMixin, Instrument

Represents the Kepco BOP 36-12 (M or D) 400 W bipolar power supply fitted with BIT 4886 digital interface card (minimal implementation) and provides a high-level interface for interacting with the instrument.

beep()

Cause the unit to emit a brief audible tone.

property bop_test: Any

Get error code after performing full power supply self-test.

Returns 0 if all tests passed, otherwise corresponding error code as detailed in manual. Caution: Output will switch on and swing to maximum values. Disconnect any load before testing.

property confidence_test: Any

Get error code after performing interface self-test procedure.

Returns 0 if all tests passed, otherwise corresponding error code as detailed in manual.

property current: Any

Measure current through the output terminals in Amps.

property current_setpoint: Any

Control the output current setpoint.

Functionality depends on the operating mode. If power supply in current mode, this sets the output current setpoint. The current achieved depends on the voltage compliance and load conditions (see: current). If power supply in voltage mode, this sets the compliance current for the corresponding voltage set point. Query returns programmed value, meaning of which is dependent on power supply operating context (see: operating_mode).

Output must be enabled separately (see: output_enabled)

property operating_mode: Any

Control the operating mode of the BOP.

As a command, a string, VOLT or CURR, is sent. As a query, a 0 or 1 is returned, corresponding to VOLT or CURR respectively. This is mapped to corresponding string.

property output_enabled: Any

Control whether the source is enabled, takes values True or False (bool)

property voltage: Any

Measure voltage present across the output terminals in Volts.

property voltage_setpoint: Any

Control the output voltage setpoint.

Functionality depends on the operating mode. If power supply in voltage mode, this sets the output voltage setpoint. The voltage achieved depends on the current compliance and load conditions (see: voltage). If power supply in current mode, this sets the compliance voltage for the corresponding current set point. Query returns programmed value, meaning of which is dependent on power supply operating context (see: operating_mode).

Output must be enabled separately (see: output_enabled)

wait_to_continue()

Cause the power supply to wait until all previously issued commands and queries are complete before executing subsequent commands or queries.
