GENERAL

INFORMATION

INTRODUCTION

1-2

This

instruction

manual

contains

operating

and

service

instructions

for

the

HP-IB

Isolated

D/A

Power

Supply

Programmer

Model

59501

A.

Installation

instructions

and

sample

programs

are

also

provided.

The

59501A

allows

HP

power

supplies

to

be

digitally

controlled

via

the

Hewlett-Packard

Interface

Bus

(HP-lB)

from

a

calculator,

computer,

or

other

controller.

The

digital

format

is

bit

parallel,

byte

serial,

ASCII

coded

format.

The

59501A

can

also

be

used

on

the

HP-IB

as

a

digitally-programmable

low

level

dc

signal

source.

Since

the

59501

A

can

be

controlled

(programmed)

by

various

control

devices

such

as

HP

9800

series

calculators

or

the

HP-2100

series

computers,

hereafter

in

this

manual,

the

controlling

device

will

be

referred

to

as

the

''controller'',

except

when

specific

programming

examples

are

provided.

1-3

DESCRIPTION

1

-4

The

59501A

is

basically

a

digital-to-analog

(D/A)

converter

that

provides

an

output

voltage

in

response

to

digital

data

received

on

the

HP-IB.

Two

programmable

output

ranges

(1V

and

10V)

are

available,

in

addition,

a

switch

on

the

rear

panel

allows

selecting

either

a

unipolar

or

bipolar

output

mode.

The

unipolar

mode

provides

a

0

to

.999V

or

a

0

to

9.99V

output

range

and

the

bipolar

mode

provides

a

—1

V

to

+0.998V

or

a

—I

OV

to

+9.98V

output

range.

The

59501

A's

output

can

be

used

as

a

programming

voltage

for

controlling

a

wide

range

of

dc

voltages

and

currents

from

HP

power

supplies

or

as

a

source

voltage

for

testing

electronic

components

such

as

integrated

circuit

packages

(IC's).

1-5

Isolators

within

the

59501

A

protect

other

instru¬

mentation

on

the

HP-IB

from

damage

that

could

be

caused

by

power

supply

outputs,

Also,

an

interna!

circuit

ensures

that

the

output

Is

held

near

zero

until

programmed

data

is

received.

Power

supply

programming

is

accomplished

through

use

of

the

59501

A's

programmable

output

voltage

and

its

front

panel

adjustments.

By

making

the

appropriate

connections

between

the

59501

A's

rear

terminals

and

the

programming

terminals

on

the

supply,

the

output

voltage

(or

current,

if

available)

of

the

power

supply

can

be

programmed

from

zero

to

its

full

rated

output.

The

59501

A's

front

panel

adjustments

provide

fast

and

easy

cali¬

bration

of

power

supply

outputs.

The

ZERO

ADJUST

enables

the

user

to

correct

for

small

offsets

in

power

supply

response

to

programmed

inputs.

The

POWER

SUPPLY

FULL

SCALE

ADJUSTMENT

(COARSE

and

FINE)

allows

the

user

to

set

the

maximum

output

desired

from

the

power

supply

when

the

59501A

is

programmed

to

its

maximum

output.

This

method

of

programming

is

called

voltage

programming

with

gain.

Power

supply

program¬

ming

is

described

in

greater

detail

in

Section

III.

1-6

Programming

the

59501A

is

accomplished

through

the

transmission

of

four

consecutive

digits

(four

ASCI!

characters).

The

first

digit

specifies

output

range

and

the

digits

specify

the

magnitude

within

the

selected

range.

The

high/low

range

capability

provides

a

ten

to

one

improvement

in

resolution.

Internal

conversion

circuitry

enables

the

59501A

to

produce

its

maximum

output

voltage

in

approximately

250iUsec

from

the

time

the

digital

data

is

received.

Output

current

up

to

10

milliamps

is

available

and

is

automatically

limited

to

protect

the

59501A

and

the

user

equipment.
