This would need some sort of a workaround in the driver code for the curvetracer software.
what is curvetracer software?
PyPSUcurvetrace. See here:
https://github.com/mbrennwa/PyPSUcurvetraceThere is no other way to disable OCP... (Only by setting it to the higher value than I-SET)
As I explained before, this is not what I am looking for. I need to disable OCP such that it does not turn off the PSU outputs even if I-SET is configured to the max value. Since this is not an issue with all other PSU units I have used so far, I'd say this is a design quirk with the Riden PSUs.
I don't know about the internals of the RD60ii[p] supplies but back to the NCV81599's two current monitoring paths for input current. One is called "external" and could be effectively bypassed by a resistor value setting the limit point ridiculously high.
Sure, I could mess with the hardware of my Riden PSU units, but that's not the way to go. I want the curvetracer software to work out of the box with the Riden PSUs for other people, too.
...What exactly would you expect a power supply to do when its OCP (over-current protection) was turned off and the former threshold was exceeded?
If that were the case, I'd expect the PSU to blow up.
However, as explained above, the I-SET value will always be within the power limits of the PSU unit, so the current will always be limited to a safe value by the I-SET configuration. The difference with the OCP function is that the I-SET limit will not turn off the PSU outputs, wheres the OCP will. The way I see it is that the OCP function is to protect the stuff that is connected to the PSU outputs, not to protect the PSU itself.
