7.7.2. Command Set Categories
The Genesys™3300W series command set is divided into four categories as follows:
1) Initialization control
2) ID control
3) Output control
4) Status control
7.7.3. Initialization Control Commands
# Command Description
1 ADR n
ADR is followed by address, which can be 0 to 30 and is used to access the power supply.
2 CLS
Clear status. Sets FEVE and SEVE registers to zero (refer to Section 7-11).
3 RST
Reset command. Brings the power supply to a safe and known state:
Output voltage: zero, Remote: non-lockout remote,
Output current: zero, Auto-start: Off,
Output: Off, OVP: maximum,
FOLD: Off, UVL: zero
The conditional registers (FLT and STAT) are updated, the other registers are not changed.
4 RMT
Sets the power supply to local or remote mode:
1. RMT 0 or RMT LOC, sets the power supply into Local mode.
2. RMT 1 or RMT REM, sets the unit into remote mode.
3. RMT 2 or RMT LLO, sets the unit into Local Lockout mode (latched remote mode).
5 RMT?
Returns to the Remote mode setting:
1. “LOC” - The unit is in Local mode.
2. “REM” - The unit is in Remote mode.
3. “LLO” - The unit is in Local Lockout (latched remote) mode.
6 MDAV?
Returns if Multi-drop is installed. 1 indicates installed and 0 indicates not installed.
7 \
Repeat last command. If \<CR> is received, the power supply will repeat the last command.
