Non-SCPI Commands

SET {<voltage>|DEF|MIN|MAX}[,<current>|DEF|MIN|MAX]

This is a non-SCPI command.

This command allows you to program output voltage and current values in the

same time, using one command only.

Using this command, you can program output voltage or output voltage and

current values. So if you specify one parameter only, it is considered as voltage

programming value.

Instead of using numeric parameters for current and voltage values, you can use

DEFault, MIN or MAX parameters. For more information about these

parameters, please refer to Technical Specifications section, programming

ranges tables.

SET?

This command queries voltage and current programmed values. The power

supply returns both values in a single string (voltage value first):

+1.000000E+01,+5.000000E+00

CALibration:MESSAGE <quoted string>

This command allows you to store some informations about the power supply

(e.g.: power supply’s serial number, last calibration date, service information

etc)

Calibration message may contain up to 40 characters and it is stored in a non-

volatile memory.

CALibration:MESSAGE?

This command queries calibration message.

You can write this message only over the remote interface, but you can view it

using Errors / Calibrate key when in local mode. For more informations you

can refer to Local Mode Operation, Errors / Calibrate key section.

SYSTem:REMote

This command is used to place the power supply in remote mode (the power

supply receives commands over RS-232 interface).

If commands are sent over the RS-232 interface without placing the power

supply in remote mode, Power supply in local mode message is sent to PC.

If the command is sent over GPIB interface, Err 510, Command allowed only

in RS232 is generated.
