B
Compatibility Language
Introduction
The Keysight power supplies covered by this manual are programmatically compatible with the
HP/Keysight 6632A, 6633A, and 6634A dc power supplies. This means that by using COMPatibility
language mode you can program these newer dc sources over the GPIB using COMPatibility commands.
To switch from SCPI commands to COMPatibility commands (and vice versa), use the SYST:LANG
command, as documented in chapter 4. The language setting is saved in non-volatile memory.
Table B-2 summarizes the COMPatibility commands that program the supplies. You may need to refer to
the HP/Keysight Series 6632, 6633A, and 6634A Operating Guide (p/n 5957-6360) for complete
information on the COMPatibility commands.
The rest of this appendix discusses the COMPatibility language status system, and the COMPatibility
language error codes.
Note: For complete information on the Compatibility programming language, order the
HP/Keysight 6632A/6633A/6634A Operating manual, p/n 5957-6360.
