I just purchased an Owon OEL1530 load. THey all come with the battery test mode now (full P/N OEL1530_R_T)
My only pain at the moment: they have not fully documented the available SCPI commands. I've discovered some bits, but much is missing.
I'm hoping others may have taken this further... Below: things I have learned, and remaining obvious questions/holes:
The documentation is incorrect in some places, and is also missing some information.
ERRORS IN THE DOCUMENTATION(Link:
https://files.owon.com.cn/software/Application/OEL15_30_Series_SCPI_Programming%20Manual.pdf)
1) MEAS:ALL:INFO? is *not* just providing the state of (OVP, OCP, OPP) errors.
* It also provides three numeric values before the "OFF,OFF,OFF" status.
* Pretty sure the three values are: voltage, current and Power.
2) SYST:SENS? returns OFF|ON not 0|1
3) MODE? returns a number, not the mode name
4) There is no documentation of the match between Mode numbers and Func names
* I learned so far that Mode 4 is Func "current"
* In battery test mode, the Func is "current"
2) I want to remotely measure, and hopefully control, the special battery control mode.
* Through simple experiments and guesses, I learned that
BAT? provides the battery test current value
BAT:VSTOP? provides the voltage stop value
BAT:CSTOP? provides the current stop value
*
REMAINING QUESTIONS: what are the remaining commands to set and query battery test parameters?
Tstop
Vstop, Cstop, Tstop enable/disable?
Battery accumulated Charge / Capacity (Ah, Wh)
Test completion stop reason?
*
AND: is there a command to turn the load output on/off? (eg start/stop a test)?
