“d”:
@AA.a
Sync character (@) and unit address, AA = Unit ID (0 to 99; 0 is a global
ID), a = Channel ID ( 0 to 2; 0 is a global channel)
d0
Command character and Type
– 0=read, 1=set(n/a), 2=activate(n/a), 3=ack,
4=nak
#12,
Number of fields character and number of fields after the comma, excluding
CRC
1,

is disabled)
opr
1,
Local/Remote state
– 0 = local, 1 = remote,
rem
8.2,
average forward current
– amps
afi

Regulation
– 0 = not regulating (no output), 1 = voltage, 2 = current
reg
2,
XTC Mode (0=manual, 1=RTC, 2=ATC)
xc
20.5,
XTC Reading
– Amp time or Real time remaining in the currently running
ATC or RTC cycle - units are dependent on the XTC settings in the setup
command

Status Flags
Bit 0 = End of Cycle (1 = End of Cycle)
Bit 1 = Low Bus Voltage (1 = Low bus voltage, probable primary power
loss)
Bit 2 = Output Inhibit (1= hardware interlock is active, front panel inhibit
LED is on)
Bit 3 = Simulation Mode (1 = Simulation Mode is active)
Bits 4 to 15 Reserved for future use
stf
0,
alarm flag
– 0 = no alarms, 1 = one or more alarm codes have not been
read (see the alarm status command “m”)
alrm
