4.2.12.  (PP) Set polarity positive.  The PP command causes the output voltage 
polarity to be set to positive.  If the high voltage is on and at the opposite polarity, the 
output will turn off and then turn back at the assigned polarity.  If the high voltage is 
not on, the set polarity command will take effect with the next HV ON command.  The 
value of the setpoint voltage does not change.

    

Send: 

>0 PP [CR]  

Receive: 

>0 PP [CR]  

4.2.13.  (NP) Set polarity negative.  The NP command causes the output voltage 
polarity to be set to negative.  If the high voltage is on and at the opposite polarity, the 
output will turn off and then turn back at the assigned polarity.  If the high voltage is 
not on, the set polarity command will take effect with the next HV ON command.  The 
value of the setpoint voltage does not change.

    

Send: 

>0 NP [CR]  

Receive: 

>0 NP [CR]  

4.3.  Status information commands.  The following commands provide status information 
about the unit, operating parameters or program condition.  

4.3.1.  (ID) Return software version.  The ID command returns the software version 
installed in the EPS200.

   

Send: 

>0 ID [CR]  

Receive: 

>0 EPS200 01.30 [CR]  

4.3.2.  (RS) Return Status.  The RS command will return a four byte ASCII 
hexadecimal value which can be decoded to determine the status of the unit.  This 
command is valid in all operating modes, including local mode.

   

Send: 

>0 RS [CR]  

Receive: 

>0 dddd [CR]  

The  dddd  is an ASCII hexadecimal value.  Each bit represents an operating mode or 
condition of the unit.  Bits D11 to D15 are not used and are fixed at a value of  0 .   

D10 

Voltage compliance mode (active/inactive)  

D9 

Overcurrent/overload fault  

D8 

Voltage compliance fault   

D7  

EPS200 mode bit (see table 4.2)  

D6 

EPS200 mode bit (see table 4.2)  

D5 

Local/Remote switch position  

D4 

HV is on  

D3 

Output polarity  

D2 

Program stop/run  

D1 

CLAMP IS DOWN bit is on  

D0 

CLAMP IS UP bit is on  

               Table 4.1 - 16 bit Status Data Bit Description   

The EPS200 operating mode can be determined by decoding bits 6 and 7.
