Introduction
In addition to the front panel interface, the XTR can be remotely
controlled through the various remote interfaces. The XTR implements
the SCPI standard as its command line interface for remotely controlling
the power supply. Additionally, a small subset of legacy Xantrex
commands has been provided for ease of use and backwards
compatibility. All of the remote interfaces use the same command line
interface.
This chapter is divided into two parts:
•
Hardware and Connection Setup provides information on how to
setup a connection to the different remote interfaces available on the
XTR. The remote interfaces covered include RS-232, RS-485, USB,
GPIB and ENET.
• Command Line Interface and SCPI explains how to send commands
to the power supply using the SCPI commands and the theory behind
SCPI.
