6-2 Remote Control PLZ-U
6.1 Overview
In addition to using the front panel, the PLZ-U can be controlled remotely using the
following interfaces.
• RS-232C interface
• GPIB interface
The interface is selected from the front panel.
The remote interface accepts two formats of commands: IEEE 488.2 common com-
mands and SCPI commands.
Below are the IEEE 488.2 common commands that the PLZ-U supports.
For the detailed list of all SCPI commands, see appendix A.5, “SCPI Command
Reference.”
Please read section 6.3, “Using SCPI Commands” and familiarize yourself with the
SCPI command syntax on the PLZ-U before actually using the SCPI commands.
6.2 Instrument Interface Standard
The PLZ-U conforms to the following standards.
• IEEE Std 488.2-1992 IEEE Standard Codes, Formats, Protocols, and Common
Commands For Use With IEEE Std 488.1-1987
• IEEE Std 488.1-1987 IEEE Standard Digital Interface for Programmable Instru-
mentation
• TIA/EIA-232F
• Standard Commands for Programmable Instruments (SCPI) version 1999.0
IEEE 488.2 requirements
The GPIB control conforms to all IEEE 488.2 requirements.
SCPI requirements
The GPIB and RS-232C controls all conform to the SCPI requirements. The PLZ-U
conforms to the SCPI Volume 4 Power Supply instrument class.
