LOCAL MODE
In Local Mode, you will control PLS600 primarily using the front panel controls. However, many SCPI commands are still
available – only setting of setpoints and activating the output are disallowed.
When the output is OFF, the set of available commands is:
VOLTage:PROTect <value>
Set voltage protection level (volts)
VOLTage:PROTect?
Query voltage protection level (volts)
CURRent:PROTect <value>
Set current protection level (amps)
CURRent:PROTect?
Query current protection level (amps)
POWer:PROTect <value>
Set power protection level (watts)
POWer:PROTect?
Query power protection level (watts)
OUTPut:AUTO <ON|OFF>
Enable/disable the Auto-Start feature
OUTPut:AUTO?
Query present Auto-Start state
SYSTem:CONFiguration:SAVE
Save configuration data to non-volatile memory
When the output is ON, the set of available commands is:
OUTPut?
Query output state
OUTPut OFF
Deactivate output
MEASure:VOLTage?
Measure and return output voltage (volts)
MEASure:CURRent?
Measure and return output current (amps)
Regardless of the output state, you can query Status and Error registers, as described in Section 6.0.
1.2
REMOTE MODE
In Remote Mode, you will control PLS600 using SCPI commands. You will also have limited control available via the front panel
