Week 11 : Design of California MX45 - 3Pi Power Supply

At first we are asked to program the Pacific Power Source but that model is the only power supply in Singapore. Therefore we change from Pacific Power Source to California Power Supply, which the company has 2 units.

 
The way we program the California Power Supply is similar with the Pacific Power Source.

 These are the VIs we use to program the California Power Supply.

This is the front panel of our program. First select the Program you want (the programs are arranged according to Acceptance Test Procedure), after that press the OUTPUT DISABLE BUTTON so that it becomes green colour OUTPUT ENABLE.
 After that the voltage and frequency can be control through the blue box above. We'd also set the max voltage limit to 350V and current limit to 40A.

 For example, if we select program 4, the gauge will display the program that is in action and the tab control will switch to program 4 automatically.

Due to some issues with the driver, we can only run this program in the desktop with LabView installed. We are asked to solve this problem so that this program can be run in the ELS desktop too.
