Hewlett Packard 59501A D/A Power Supply Programmer Operating and Service Manual

Below you will find brief information for D/A Power Supply Programmer 59501A. The HP-IB Isolated D/A Power Supply Programmer Model 59501A allows HP power supplies to be digitally controlled via the Hewlett-Packard Interface Bus (HP-IB) from a calculator, computer, or other controller. The digital format is bit parallel, byte serial, ASCII coded format. The 59501A can also be used on the HP-IB as a digitally programmable low level DC signal source.

Frequently Answers and Questions

How do I program the 59501A's output?

Programming the 59501A is accomplished through the transmission of four consecutive digits (four ASCII characters). The first digit specifies the output range and the next three digits specify the desired output within the selected range.

What are the different output ranges and modes available?

Two programmable output ranges (1V and 10V) are available, with a switch on the rear panel allowing selection of either a unipolar or bipolar output mode. The unipolar mode provides a 0 to 9.99V or a 0 to 0.999V output range, while the bipolar mode provides a -1V to +0.898V or a -10V to +8.98V output range.

How do I connect the 59501A to an HP power supply?

The 59501A is interfaced with the user's device via the output terminal strip. Output terminals A1 and A2 allow access to the 59501A's D/A output, while terminals A3 through A5 allow access to the power supply programming network. The specific connections depend upon the particular power supply being programmed and the type of control desired (output voltage or current).

What are the accuracy and stability specifications of the 59501A?

The accuracy of the 59501A is specified at 23°C ± 5°C, with a stability of 0.04% + 1mV for the high range and 0.04% + 2mV for the low range over an 8-hour interval. Temperature coefficients are also provided in the specifications.
