*RST
This command resets the power supply to its power-on state as follows:
Command
State
CURR[:LEV][:IMM] Output dependent value*
CURR[:LEV]:TRIG Output dependent value*
DISP[:STAT] ON
INST[:SEL] P6V
INST:COUP NONE
OUTP[:STAT] OFF
OUTP:TRAC OFF
TRIG:DEL 0
TRIG:SOUR BUS
VOLT[:LEV][:IMM] 0
VOLT[:LEV]:TRIG 0
*The reset operation sets the current of +6V output to 5 A and the current of +25V
and -25V outputs to 1 A.
*TST?
This query performs a complete self-test of the power supply. Returns “0” if the self-
test passes or “1” or any non-zero value if it fails. If the self-test fails, an error message
is also generated with additional information on why the test failed.
*SAV { 1 | 2 | 3 }
This command stores the present state of the power supply to the specified location
in non-volatile memory. Three memory locations (numbered 1, 2 and 3) are available
to store operating states of the power supply. The state storage feature “remembers”
the states or values of INST[:SEL], VOLT[:IMM], CURR[:IMM],
OUTP[:STAT], OUTP:TRAC, TRIG:SOUR, and TRIG:DEL. To recall a stored
state, you must use the same memory location used previously to store the state.
*RCL {1 | 2 | 3 }
This command recalls a previously stored state. To recall a stored state, you must use
the same memory location used previously to store the state. You recall *RST states
or values of the power supply from a memory location that was not previously
specified as a storage location.
