Refer to the Genesys
TM
Technical Manual for a description of the RS-232 & RS-485 Remote
Control command set
Syntax:
DIAGnostic:COMMunicate:PASSthrough <string>
Parameter:
<string>
is any RS-232/485 command or query
(no quotes are used to enclose the string)
Example #1:
DIAG:COMM:PASS PV 25
will program the voltage limit to 25 volts
Response #1:
OK
will be returned by the above command,
(or an error such as
E01
may be returned)
Example #2:
DIAG:COMM:PASS MV?
will measure the output voltage
Response #2:
24.983
is a sample response to the above query
7.7. COMMON COMMANDS
Commaon commands were first defined in the IEEE-488.2 standard, which is the predecessor
of the SCPI standard. They are not specific to power supplies. They are common commands
which are useful for any remote communication
Many common commands refer to bit-mapped registers in which setting bits to “1” or “0”
indicates an operating mode or fault condition. These are described in the Error and Status
section 7.8 below
7.7.1. Identity Query
This is a request for the power supply to identify itself. It is used by the remote computer to
verify the correct instrument is being communicated to and to determine the model ratings
of the power supply.
Syntax:
*IDN?
Response: Four fields separated by commas:
Field 1: Manufacturer name
Example:
LAMBDA
Field 2: Model name, GEN<Volt rating>–<Curr rating>–Option
Example:
GEN150-22-LAN
Field 3: Serial number, typically 7 alpha-numeric characters
Example:
25B1234
Field 4: Revisions, <Main firmware>–<LAN firmware>
Example:
REV:2U:3.0-A
Example Response:
LAMBDA,GEN60-25-LAN,S/N:26M5470,REV:1U:4.0-A
7.7.2. Reset the Power Supply
This command will reset all settings in the power supply to a known, safe state. This
includes setting the programming limits to zero, output off, and auto-restart off. Other
protections are disabled
Sending
*RST
is the same as sending all nine of the following commands:
:VOLT 0 :CURR 0
OUTP:STAT 0 SYST:SET REM
OUTP:PON OFF :CURR:PROT:STAT OFF
:VOLT:LIM:LOW 0 :VOLT:PROT:LEV MAX
*CLS
Syntax:
*RST
