Reset Output Protection Operation

Resets the output protection of the power supply on a specific channel after an overvoltage or overcurrent condition occurs. An overvoltage condition occurs when the output voltage is equal to or greater than the value of the OVP Limit setting and the OVP Enabled setting is set to True . An overcurrent condition occurs when the output current is equal to or greater than the value of the Current Limit setting and the Current Limit Behavior setting is set to Current Trip.

When either an overvoltage condition or an overcurrent condition occurs, the output protection of the power supply disables the output. You can use this operation to reset the output protection after an overvoltage or overcurrent condition occurs. Once the output protection is reset, the power supply resumes generating a power signal.

You can use Query Output State in the Get Information operation to determine whether the power supply is in an overvoltage or overcurrent state.

Note Not all drivers support the Reset Output Protection operation.

The Reset Output Protection operation contains the following option:

  • Channel Name —The name of the channel on which to operate. The channel name must be a valid virtual channel name as the IVI configuration for the logical name being used defines.
