Commands Sent Over Remote Interface
There are several types of commands that can be sent over the remote interface,
in order to control the power supply:
§
§
SCPI (Standard Commands for Programmable Instruments) commands
- these commands are defined in the Power Supply Instrument Classes
of the 1999 SCPI standard.
- a complete description of synthax and functionality is contained in the
1999 SCPI standard.
- these commands can be sent over RS-232 interface and GPIB / 488
interface.
§
§
Non-SCPI commands
- these commands are power supply specific.
- these commands can be sent over RS-232 interface and GPIB / 488
interface.
§
§
IEEE 488.2 commands
- The 488.2 specification defines a minimum configuration, and adds
specifications for a basic set of instrument commands.
- these commands can be sent over RS-232 interface and GPIB / 488
interface.
§
§
IEEE 488 bus commands
- in command mode, the power supply can receive talk and listen
addresses, universal commands and addressed commands (for more
information, please refer to IEEE 488 bus commands section).
- These commands can be sent over GPIB interface
