[SOURce:]SASimulator:MODE <mode>
[SOURce:]SASimulator:MODE?
This command sets the unit to operate as either a standard power supply or a solar array simulator.
FIXed - operates the unit as a standard CV/CC power supply.
CURVe - operates the unit as a solar array simulator. The output characteristic is determined by the
Isc, Imp, Voc, Vmp, and Shape parameters.
TABLe -operates the unit as a solar array simulator. The output characteristic is determined by up to
1024 user-defined table points. The points are validated when using SAS:TABL:ACT or SAS:TABL:UPD.
If the points do not represent a valid set, an error will be generated.
Parameter
FIXed|CURVe|TABLe; *RST: FIXed
Set the unit to operate as a solar array simulator using user-defined table points: SAS:MODE:TABL
[SOURce:]SASimulator:SCALe:CURRent <percent>|MIN|MAX
[SOURce:]SASimulator:SCALe:CURRent? [MIN|MAX]
[SOURce:]SASimulator:SCALe:VOLTage <percent>|MIN|MAX
[SOURce:]SASimulator:SCALe:VOLTage? [MIN|MAX]
These commands set a scale factor for the curve in both Curve and Table modes. Both voltage and
current can be scaled at the same time.
The output current will be equal to this percentage multiplied by the current computed from the SAS
curve or table. This is often used to simulate variations in solar cell irradiance. The output voltage will
be equal to this percentage multiplied by the voltage computed from the SAS curve or table. This is
often used to simulate variations in solar cell temperature.
Parameter
1 to 100 (%); *RST: 100
Sets the scale factor for the current to 90%: SAS:SCAL:CURR 90
Sets the scale factor for the voltage to 90%: SAS:SCAL:VOLT 90
When on, the output will respond immediately to any change in this setting.
