Compatibility Command
Description
Similar SCPI Command
RCL <reg>
Recalls the saved settings. There are up to 16 store/recall states. Saved
settings must have been previously stored using the STO command.
*RCL
ROM?
Queries the revision date of the power supply's firmware.
*IDN?
RST
Resets any tripped protection.
OUTP:PROT:CLE
SRQ <setting>
Generates error 203. The service request capability of the power supply
is only supported using the SCPI commands
*SRQ
SRQ?
Always returns 0.
*SRQ?
STO <reg>
Stores the present power supply settings in the specified register. There
are up to 16 store/recall states.
*SAV
STS?
Note 1
Queries the present status. The response represents the sum of the
binary weights of the status register bits. The response is STS <n>
STAT:OPER:COND?
STAT:QUES:COND?
TEST?
Always returns 0.
*TST?
TRG
Causes the settings held with HOLD 1 to be executed.
UNMASK <setting>
Note 1
Sets the bits in the mask register to the setting. The setting is an integer
that represents the sum of the binary weights of the bits. The mask
register operates in conjunction with the status and fault registers.
STAT:OPER:NTR
STAT:OPER:PTR
STAT:QUES:NTR
STAT:QUES:PTR
UNMASK?
Note 1
Queries the present setting of the mask register. The response is
UNMASK <n>.
STAT:OPER:NTR?
STAT:OPER:PTR?
STAT:QUES:NTR?
STAT:QUES:PTR?
VMAX
Sets the soft programming limit for voltage. Attempting to program the
voltage above this setting will generate an error.
VMAX?
Queries the VMAX setting. The response is VMAX <n>.
VOUT?
Queries the measured output voltage. The response is a real number.
MEAS:VOLT?
VSET <voltage>
Sets the output voltage.
VOLT
VSET?
Queries the present voltage setting. The response is a real number.
VOLT?
