VX1410A & VX1420A IntelliFrame Mainframe Instruction Manual

This section describes a few brief examples using some of the commands
described in this manual. These examples are intended to show how the
commands from the Command section work together to complete a task.

This example shows how to monitor the mainframe power supply voltages

1. Send the STATus:QUEStionable:VOLTage:ENABle command to enable the

bits in the Voltage Enable register. This command lets you monitor all
voltage limits.

  

2. Send the STATus:QUEStionable:ENABle command to enable the bit 0 in the

Questionable Enable register. If any problems occur with any of the power
supplies, bit 0 of the register will be set.

  

This example shows how to monitor the delta temperature in slots 0, 1, 2, and 3.
The maximum allowable delta temperature for slots 0 and 1 is 10 

°

C; the

maximum allowable delta temperature for slots 2 and 3 is 5 

°

C.

1. Send the STATus:QUEStionable:TEMPerature:LIMit command to set the

temperature limits for the four slots (one command per slot):

  

  

  

  

2. Send the STATus:QUEStionable:TEMPerature:ENABle command to enable

the bits in the Temperature Enable register. This command allows you to
measure temperatures for the individual slots.
