SYSTem Subsystem
This subsystem contains functions that are not directly related to power supply
performance.
:SYSTem:BEEPer[:IMMediate]
This command determines the power supply to generate a beeper right after she
received this command.
SYSTem:COMMunicate:GPIB:RDEVice:ADDRess <numeric value>
This command will change the power supply’s GPIB address.
SYSTem:COMMunicate:GPIB:RDEVice:ADDRess?
This command queries the power supply’s GPIB address.
:SYSTem:ERRor?
This command queries the power supply’s error queue. Errors are retrieved in a
first-in-first-out order, so the first generated error is the first read error.
The error queue can store up to 20 errors. If more errors will be generated, the
last error is overwritten and on the last position will be written – 350 error
(queue overflow). No more errors will be stored until the queue is cleared (but
they are generated).
The power supply will return error number followed by error definition.
When all the errors were read, err indicator will not be displayed anymore and
error queue is empty. Sending this command now, determines the power
supply to respond with No errors message.
SYSTem:INTERFACE GPIB|RS232
This command will select an interface, which becomes the active interface. The
next command must be sent over the new active interface.
:SYSTem :VERSion?
This command queries the SCPI version number for which the instrument
complies. The response is a string in the form YYYY.V, where YYYY represents
the year version and V represents the approved revision number for that year
(for example, 1990.0).
