SETUP Configuration Commands and Queries
• CONFigure:PSwitch:CoolTIME <time (seconds)>
Sets the time required in seconds for the persistent switch to become
superconducting after the persistent switch heater has been deactivated.
• CONFigure:PSwitch:PowerSupplyRampRate <rate (A/s)>
Sets the ramp rate that will be used by the power supply to ramp the
current
1
during the PERSIST. SWITCH CONTROL operation. For more
information as to how this
PERSIST. SWITCH CONTROL function
operates, refer to section 3.6.1 on page 33.
• PSwitch:CoolTIME?
Returns the persistent switch cooled time in seconds.
• PSwitch:PowerSupplyRampRate?
Returns the power supply ramp rate used to change the power supply
output when the magnet persistent switch is cool. The units are A/sec.
• CONFigure:PSwitch:CoolingGAIN <percent>
Sets the persistent switch cooling gain in percent.
• PSwitch:CoolingGAIN?
Returns the persistent switch cooling gain in percent.
• CONFigure:QUench:DETect {0|1}
Sending “0” disables the automatic quench detection function of the Model
430 Programmer. “1” enables the automatic quench detection function of
the Model 430. See section 3.15 for more information. “0” is the default
value.
• QUench:DETect?
Returns “0” indicating automatic quench detection is disabled, or “1”
indicating that the automatic quench detection is enabled.
• CONFigure:QUench:RATE <value>
Sets the value of the quench detect rate variable. Allowable values are
from “0.1” to “2.0”. “1.5” is the default value (no units).
• QUench:RATE?
Returns the value of the quench detect rate variable (no units).
• CONFigure:ABsorber {0|1}
Sending “0” indicates that an energy absorber is not present in the system.
A “1” indicates that an energy absorber is present. “0” is the default value.
1. While the magnet is in persistent mode.
