Commands Overview
The power supply controller replies every time that a termination character ‘\r’
is received. Replies could have different behaviors:
•
an acknowledgment ‘#AK\r’ string is sent back in case of a correct setting
command;
•
a non-acknowledgment ‘#NAK\r’ string is sent back in case of a
wrong/unrecognized command or if the system is in local operation mode and a
write command is sent to the controller (write commands are marked with a ‘W’
in
Table 6
);
•
a standard reply, preceded by a ‘#’ and followed by a ‘\r’ character, is sent back
as a response to a reading command.
A brief description for each command, in alphabetical order, is herein presented
with some example annotations; the correct interpretation for these examples is as
follows:
