Section 6: 9100 System Operation — SCPI Language
Final Width = 215mm
This section explains the IEEE command set specifcally added for the power option. It makes the assumption that existing 9100
commands will behave, where possible, in the same manner as described in the preceding section.
Key to the following:
<spd>
String program data type (e.g. "abc123")
<cpd>
Character program data type consisting of one of the following
{…|…|…}
<dnpd>
Decimal numeric program data type (i.e. a number, 5, 5.1, 1.0E3)
<abpd>
Arbitrary block program data type (i.e. all ASCII character values 0~255)
<nr3>
Numeric response data
<hnrd>
Hexadecimal numeric response data
6.7.1
General Comments
• If the 9100 does not have the option fitted, then a settings conflict error will be generated.
• Queries of
<dnpd>
values will return the invalid number value (2.0E35) if the function is not active/selected.
• The query of
<cpd>
commands shall return the short-form version of the setting. If function/setting is not selected then the word
'NONE' will be returned.
6.7.2
Output Selection
This sub-system is used to configure the output connections of the 9100.
6.7.2.1
OUTPut[:STATe](?)<cpd>{OFF|ON|0|1}
This command will connect the output signal to the Main (hi/lo) and Auxiliary (I+/I-) channels.
• This command behaves in the same manner as described in the 9100 manual. It is included in this document for
completeness only.
6.7.2.2
OUTPut:ISELection(?) <cpd>{HIGHi|HI50turn|HI10turn|LOWi}
This command is used to select the high current coils and which output terminals source the signal.
6.7
The IEEE Bus Interface for the Power Option
• This command behaves in the same manner as described in the 9100 manual. It is included in this document for
completeness only.
