This query command reads the power supply’s identification 
string. The power supply returns four fields separated by 
commas. The first field is the manufacturer’s name, the

(always 0), and the fourth field is a revision code which 
contains three numbers. The first number is the firmware 
revision number for the main power supply processor; the 
second is for the input/output processor; and the third is for 
the front- panel processor.
The command returns a string with the following format (be 
sure to dimension a string variable with at least 40 
characters):
