Command Description
wrong parameters, double addresses etc.). If only the master has
initialized itself, the command will return a 1.
SYSTem:SHARe:LINK˽{SLAVE}
SYSTem:SHARe:LINK? This command is only used with electronic loads in two-quadrants
operation where they are supposed to be slaves on the Share bus, even
if one load unit is master of a master-slave system of loads This only
works if
• The unit is already set to MASTER for master-slave and
• Master-slave mode is activated and
• The unit is an electronic load,
else the unit will generate a "Settings conflict" error.
7.12.10.2 Other MS Commands
Command Description
SYSTem:MS:NOMinal:VOLTage? Queries the total voltage of the initialized MS system. The voltage
of a MS system will increase in a series connection, compared to a
single unit. Series connection is only allowed for power supplies
SYSTem:MS:NOMinal:CURRent? Queries the total current of the initialized MS system. The current of a
MS system will increase on a parallel connection, compared to a
single unit
SYSTem:MS:NOMinal:POWer? Queries the total power of the initialized MS system. The power of a
MS system will always increase, compared to a single unit
Note: The nominal values, as calculated during a MS initialization procedure, are different
to the nominal values of a single unit and thus have extra commands. These values
are only used for master-slave applications.
7.12.11 Commands for general queries
The following commands can be used to query other information from the unit.
Command Description
SYSTem:NOMinal:VOLTage? Queries the nominal, i.e. maximum input/output voltage
SYSTem:NOMinal:CURRent? Queries the nominal, i.e. maximum input/output current
SYSTem:NOMinal:POWer? Queries the nominal, i.e. maximum input/output power
SYSTem:NOMinal:RESistance:MINimum? Queries the minimum internal resistance value.
SYSTem:NOMinal:RESistance:MAXimum? Queries the maximum internal resistance value
SYSTem:DEVice:CLAss? Queries the device class and lets the unit return a value which
defines to what model class the unit belongs to. This is an easy
way to distinguish different unit types, like an electronic load from
a power supply.
7.12.12 Unit Configuration Commands
The commands listed below are used to modify settings of the unit’s configuration. The
settings can be part of the current user profile. Any modification on the configuration
requires activation of remote control. These settings are automatically stored.
