Multichannel Commands Explained
The use of multichannel addressing allows you to send messages to one device, more than
one device or to all devices. Any of the remote interface types can be used to send a
multichannel command through the device that is physically connected to the PC to all the
devices, provided that all other devices are connected to via the RS-485 bus. In order to use
multichannel addressing, the setup of the wiring should be completed as described in
“Multiple Power Supply Connections to RS-485 Bus” on page 117.
All SCPI commands in the power supply support the use of multichannel addressing;
however, only one device can respond to a message. Responses will be sent according to the
conditions defined below.
