8560 Power Source
LabVIEW Coding For Your EEC Power Source
Below is an example LabVIEW program to set some basic parameters on an EEC Power Source. Implementing this code will put the source in Manual Mode, set the output voltage to 115 VAC at 60 Hz and set a current high limit of 6 Amps. It will also initialize a test, abort the test after 3 seconds and take a meter measurement. EEC does not provide LabVIEW training or other software code examples.
LabVIEW Code Diagram
The following steps outline the process depicted in the LabVIEW code diagram:
- Set COM Port
- Set to manual mode
- Set: 115V, 60Hz, 6AHI
- Start Test
- 3 Second Delay
- Abort Test
- Take Reading
- Close Resource
Diagram Description
The diagram illustrates the flow of the LabVIEW program:
- 1. Set COM Port: Select the COM port (e.g., COM1).
- 2. Set to manual mode: Switch the mode to manual.
- 3. Set: 115V, 60Hz, 6AHI: Configure the voltage to 115V, frequency to 60Hz, and current high limit to 6 Amps.
- 4. Start Test: Initiate the test.
- 5. 3 Second Delay: Introduce a 3-second delay.
- 6. Abort Test: Abort the test after the delay.
- 7. Take Reading: Capture the meter data output.
- 8. Close Resource: Close the resource to end the process.
