DPS3340 does not respond to DiscoveryPS.Output.Output1.Enable.checked

[baldengineer]

I am using the Script instrument to control a DPS3340.

It appears C1, C2, and C3 all have an Enabled.Checked property. It appears I can set and read back the value, but it has no effect on the DiscoveryPS instrument.

Working with Waveforms 3.20.1, Windows, 64-bit. (I also tried Beta 3.20.16 but it has the same behavior.)

 

// manually uncheck C1's checkbox!

clear()

if(!('DiscoveryPS' in this)) throw "Please open the DiscoveryPS instrument";

// Turn on Discovery PS
DiscoveryPS.MasterEnable.checked = true; // MasterEnable.checked works as expected

// Configure Discovery PS Channel 1
DiscoveryPS.Output.Output1.Enable.checked = true;  // this has no effect on C1
DiscoveryPS.Output.Output1.Voltage.value = "1.23"; 
DiscoveryPS.Output.Output1.Current.value = "1.23";
print("C1[" + DiscoveryPS.Output.Output1.Enable.checked + "]: " + DiscoveryPS.Output.Output1.Voltage.text + ", " + DiscoveryPS.Output.Output1.Current.text);

Script Output response is:

C1[true]: 1.23 V, 1.23 A

However, the checkbox is not checked, and the output is not enabled. Example result attached as screenshot.

Is there some other property or method to enable/disable channels individually?

Hi @baldengineer

Use: Supplies.Output.Output1.Enable.value = 1;

That was it .Enable.value =1. I thought I had tried that, but I guess not!

Thank you.

I thank you for the observation.
The Help/Script was correct but the tip in the status bar was wrong.
