APPENDIX B - SCPI COMMAND/QUERY DEFINITIONS
B.1 INTRODUCTION
This appendix defines the SCPI subsystem commands and queries used with the BIT 232/BIT
232-F Interface Card. Subsystem commands are defined in Figures B-1 through B-26, arranged
in groups as they appear in the tree diagram, Figure 3-3. Table B-1 provides a quick reference of
all SCPI subsystem commands and queries used in the BIT Card.

Syntax
: Short Form: INIT
Long Form: :INITiate[:IMMediate]
Function
: Enables a single trigger.
Description:
This command enables a single trigger. A *TRG command completes the sequence. Upon receipt o
f
the *TRG command, the power supply will return to the commanded values of voltage and current
established by the VOLT:TRIG and CURR:TRIG commands. After a *TRG command has been
received, subsequent *TRG commands have no effect unless preceded by INIT or INIT:CONT ON.
Example:
VOLT 21; CURR 5 Power supply output commanded to go to 21V, 5A
VOLT:TRIG 15;CURR:TRIG 3 Power supply output programmed to return to 15V, 3A upon
receipt of *TRG trigger.
INIT;*TRG Upon receipt of *TRG command power supply is
commanded to 15V, 3A.
NOTE: Commanded voltage and current parameters will either be output or limit parameters,
depending on whether output is enabled, load and mode
