FRAME The DC Load is programmed using packets of bytes. A packet always contains 26 bytes,
either going to or coming from the instrument. The basic programming rule is: You send a
26 byte packet to the instrument. You then read a 26 byte packet back from the DC Load
to either get the status of your submitted packet, or get the data you requested.
SCPI SCPI is an ASCII language that consists of conguration and query commands that are specic
to the instrument and a set of IEEE 488.2 operations and commands that are common to
all SCPI-based instruments. SCPI commands have long and short forms, where the long
form is very descriptive, and the short form is an abbreviation.
