Chapter2 Example of Common Commands
This chapter displays the programming examples to remotely control IT8200 load
using SCPI commands.
If the user want to change the settings of the instrument, for instance, the output
setting value, the command SYST:REM must be sent to the instrument after
finishing the connection between the instrument and PC.
Example 1: Identify the power supply
You can verify that you are communicating with the correct IT8200 power supply.
To query the identification of the power supply, enter the following command:
-> *IDN?
To check the error queue of the power supply, enter the following command:
-> SYST:ERR?
Example 2:Common output commands
The following common commands to help you quickly implement common
operations. For more command information, refer to the corresponding
section. You can omit the small write parts in the following commands.
SYSTem:REMote // Set the instrument to remote operation mode.
*IDN? //Query the identification of the instrument
SYSTem:FUNCtion ONE //Set the load mode to 1-phase
SYSTem:FUNCtion THRee //Set the load mode to 3-phase
INPut:COUPling AC //Set the operation mode to AC
FUNCtion CC //Set the load run mode to CC
CURR 30 //Set the current RMS to 30A
INPut ON //Enable the load input
MEASure:VOLTage? //Read the RMS value of voltage
MEASure:CURRent? //Read the RMS value of current
MEASure:POWer? //Read the real power value
MEASure:FREQuency? //Read the frequency
SYSTem:ERRor? //Query the error information of instrument
SYSTem:CLEar //Clear the error information
INPut:PROTection:CLEar //Clear the protection information
