SCPI programming
SCPI programming information is integrated with front panel operation throughout this
manual. SCPI commands are listed in tables, and additional information that pertains
exclusively to remote operation is provided after each table. Also, the SCPI tables may reference
other sections of this manual.
NOTE Except for Sec
tion 12, all SCPI tables in this manual are abridged. That is, they
exclude most optional command words and query commands. Optional command
words and query commands are summarized as follows.
Optional command words —
In order to be in conformance with the IEEE-488.2 standard,
the power supply accepts optional command words. Any command word that is enclosed in
brackets ([]) is optional and does not have to be included in the program message.
Query commands —
Most command words have a query form (exceptions are noted). A
query command is identified by the question mark (?) that follows the command word. A query
command requests (queries) the programmed status of that command. When a query is sent and
the power supply is addressed to talk, the response message is sent to the computer.
To send a SCPI command as a query, append a “?” to the fundamental form of the command.
(Mak
e sure to add the “?” immediately following the command on the same line.)
NOTE F
