Compatibility Commands
The commands described in this section are provided for compatibility with existing N6700 series
modular power systems (MPS). Specifically, because of their feature sets, only programs written for
the N673xB, N674xB, and N677xA power modules are directly compatible with the APS models. Note
that the compatibility commands discussed in this section have no or little effect on the operation of
the APS models, as they access functions that are either redundant or not available.
Channel Parameter
Since the APS models are single channel units, SCPI commands do not require a channel list
parameter. However, for code compatibility with the N6700 MPS, the APS models will accepts the
channel list (, @1) for N6700 MPS commands that require this parameter. All channel-dependent
commands sent to the APS models must be sent to channel 1 only.
Aliased Commands
Certain N6700 MPS commands are aliased or linked to newer APS commands for compatibility. This
allows the N6700 MPS commands to be used in APS models without modification.
N6700 MPS command
Aliased to these APS commands
[SOURce:]CURRent
Sets the output current.
[SOURce:]CURRent:LIMit[:POSitive]
Sets the current limit when in voltage priority mode.
DISPlay:VIEW METER1
Displays a single output channel
DISPlay:VIEW METER_VI
Displays output voltage and current.
DISPlay:VIEW METER4
Displays four output channels
DISPlay:VIEW METER_VI
Displays output voltage and current.
Obsolete N6700 MPS commands
Aliased to these N6700 MPS
and APS commands
OUTPut:PROT:DELay
Sets the output protection delay.
[SOURce:]CURRent:PROTection:DELay
Sets the output protection delay.
It is not recommended to use obsolete commands in new application programs.
Code Compatible Commands
These Keysight N6700 MPS commands are not required for APS models, but are provided for better
compatibility with code written for the N6700 MPS. In most cases these commands either do nothing,
or specify a pre-defined parameter that is compatible with the APS models.
