Communication with Your Device
This section provides information on selecting the GPIB interface as the
communication port used on the XG, and it also provides an example of
how commands can be sent and received. The details of the IEEE 488.2
and SCPI status reporting register structures and a complete list of
commands available can be found in the
XG 850 Watt Series
Programmable DC Power Supply Operating Manual (M370046-01)
.

is displayed in the output voltage display.
2. Turn the rotary Adjust/Enter control to select the
6PIb
communication port.
3. Press the rotary Adjust/Enter control.

Important:
This section uses the National Instruments™ MAX program to
communicate with the XG. This is for demonstration purposes only. Any
software that is capable of addressing a GPIB device and sending and receive
text could be used in its place. Consult your GPIB card manufacturer to see if
they provide an equivalent program.
