NAME

Lab::Instrument::YokogawaGS200 - Yokogawa GS200 DC source

SYNOPSIS

use Lab::Instrument::YokogawaGS200;

my $gate14=new Lab::Instrument::YokogawaGS200(
  connection_type => 'LinuxGPIB',
  gpib_address => 22,
  function => 'VOLT',
  level => 0.4,
);
$gate14->set_voltage(0.745);
print $gate14->get_voltage();

DESCRIPTION

The Lab::Instrument::YokogawaGS200 class implements an interface to the discontinued voltage and current source GS200 by Yokogawa. This class derives from Lab::Instrument::Source and provides all functionality described there.

CONSTRUCTORS

new( %configuration_HASH )

HASH is a list of tuples given in the format

key => value,

please supply at least the configuration for the connection: connection_type => "LinxGPIB" gpib_address =>

you might also want to have gate protect from the start (the default values are given):

	gate_protect => 1,

	gp_equal_level          => 1e-5,
	gp_max_units_per_second  => 0.05,
	gp_max_units_per_step    => 0.005,
	gp_max_step_per_second  => 10,
	gp_max_units_per_second  => 0.05,
	gp_max_units_per_step    => 0.005,

	max_sweep_time=>3600,
	min_sweep_time=>0.1,

Additinally there is support to set parameters for the device "on init":

function			=> undef, # 'VOLT' - voltage, 'CURR' - current
range			=> undef,
level			=> undef,
output					=> undef,

If those values are not specified, they are read from the device.

METHODS

sweep_to_voltage($voltage,$time)

Sweeps to $voltage in $time seconds. For this function to work, the source has to be in output mode.

Returns the newly set voltage. This function is also called internally to set the voltage when gate protect is used.

program_run($program)

Runs a program stored on the YokogawaGS200. If no prgram name is given, the currently loaded program is executed.

program_pause

Pauses the currently running program.

program_continue

Continues the paused program.

set_voltage($voltage)

Sets the output voltage. The driver checks whether you stay inside the currently selected range. Returns the newly set voltage.

set_voltage_auto($voltage)

Sets the output voltage. The range is chosen automatically. Does not work with gate protect on. Returns the newly set voltage.

set_current($current)

See set_voltage

set_current_auto($current)

See set_current_auto

set_range($range)

Fixed voltage mode
10E-3    10mV
100E-3   100mV
1E+0     1V
10E+0    10V
30E+0    30V

Fixed current mode
1E-3   		1mA
10E-3   	10mA
100E-3   	100mA
200E-3		200mA

Please use the format on the left for the range command.

set_function($function)

Sets the source function. The Yokogawa supports the values

"CURR" for current mode and "VOLT" for voltage mode.

Returns the newly set source function.

set_voltage_limit($limit)

Sets a voltage limit to protect the device. Returns the new voltage limit.

set_current_limit($limit)

See set_voltage_limit.

output_on()

Sets the output switch to on and returns the new value of the output status.

output_off()

Sets the output switch to off. The instrument outputs no voltage or current then, no matter what voltage you set. Returns the new value of the output status.

get_error()

Queries the error code from the device. This is a very useful thing to do when you are working remote and the source is not responding.

get_voltage()

get_current()

get_output()

get_range()
