About Report
The continuous report sent by the IPCU protocol communication is
structured as follow:
At each main power on start up six remarking lines are sent.
These six lines are sent also if the EEPROM's parameter n. 30 are set
to "0" = Disable Remark Lines.
After these six lines, the normal report sequence starts, accordingly
to the report type chosen notifying the user about the values of
voltage, current and power, faults and events status for each channel.
When an ion pump discharge happens, the unit performs a warm
system start reset automatically bringing to 0 V the HV to stop the
discharge, then it sends again the first five remarking lines with the
fifth changed to:
90/104
The first line sent is the firmware release, for instance:
"* REL [20051117 ICPU]".
The second line is the notification that the EEPROM's parameter
are wrote into RAM:
* EVT [LOAD_EEPROM_PARAMETERS_INTO_RAM]
The third line is the notification that the calibration of the Analog
to Digital Convert used for the measurement of output high
voltage and current are done:
* EVT [ADC_CALIBRATION]
The fourth line is reporting that the internal I/O BUS are
initialized:
* EVT [IO_BUS_INIT]
The fifth line is the notification that a main power on cold system
startup reset is happened:
* EVT [COLD_RESET_SYSTEM_STARTUP]
The sixth and last line reports the number "n" of Power On Cold
Reset happened up to that moment:
* POR [n]
