SETUP Configuration Commands and Queries
‡
CURRent:LIMit?
Returns the magnet current limit in amperes.
‡
CONFigure:PSwitch {0|1}
Sending “0” indicates that a persistent switch is not installed on the
connected superconducting magnet. “1” indicates that a persistent switch
is installed. If a persistent switch is installed, the persistent switch
heating current and time should be specified. The default value is “1”.
‡
CONFigure:PSwitch:CURRent < current >
Sets the persistent switch heater current in milliamperes.
‡
PSwitch:CURRent?
Returns the persistent switch current setting in milliamperes.
‡
CONFigure:PSwitch:TIME < time >
Sets the time required in seconds for the persistent switch heater to
become resistive after the persistent switch heater has been activated.
‡
PSwitch:TIME?
Returns the persistent switch heating time in seconds.
‡
CONFigure:QUench:DETect {0|1}
Sending “0” disables the automatic quench detection function of the Model
420. “1” enables the automatic quench detection function of the Model 420.
See page 61 for more information. “1” is the default value.
‡
QUench:DETect?
Returns “0” indicating automatic quench detection is disabled, or “1”
indicating that the automatic quench detection is enabled.
‡
CONFigure:ABsorber {0|1}
Sending “0” indicates that an energy absorber is not present in the system.
A “1” indicates that an energy absorber is present. “0” is the default value.
‡
ABsorber?
Returns “0” indicating that an energy absorber is not present in the
system, or “1” indicating that an energy absorber is present.
‡
CONFigure:RAMP:RATE:UNITS {0|1}
Sets the preferred ramp rate time units. Sending “0” selects seconds. A “1”
selects minutes. “0” is the default value. The selected units are applied to
both the Model 420 display and the appropriate remote commands.
