Command Set Categories 7.7.2
The Genesys™ 2400W Power Supply Series command set is divided into four categories as follows:
1. Initialization Control
2. ID Control
3. Output Control
4. Status Control
Initialization Control Commands 7.7.3
ADR is followed by address, which can be 0 to 30, and is used to access the power
supply.
Clear status. Sets FEVE and SEVE registers to zero (refer to Section 7-8).
Reset command. Brings the power supply to a safe and known state:
Output voltage: zero Remote/Local Mode: non-lockout remote
Output current: zero, Auto-ReStart mode: OFF
Output ON/OFF: OFF OVP setting: maximum
FOLDback ON/OFF: OFF UVL setting: zero
The conditional registers (FLT and STAT) are updated while other registers are not
changed.
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).
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.
Returns MD MODE OPTION Status. “1” indicates installed, and “0” indicates not installed.
Repeat last command. If \<CR> is received, the power supply will repeat the last
command.
ID Control Commands 7.7.4

Returns the software version as an ASCII string.
Returns the unit serial number. Up to 12 characters.
Returns date of last test. Date format: yyyy/mm/dd
Output Control Commands 7.7.5
Sets the Output voltage value in Volts. The range of Output voltage value is described in
Table 7-3. The maximum number of characters is 12. See the following examples for PV
n format: PV 12, PV 012, PV 12.0, PV 012.00, etc…
Reads the Output voltage setting. Returns the string “n” where “n” is the exact string sent
in the PV n command. When in Local mode, returns the PREView (front panel) settings
in a 5 digit string.
Reads the actual Output voltage. Returns a 5 digit string.
Example: 60V supply sends 01.150, 15.012, 50.000, etc…
Sets the Output current value in Amperes. The range of Output current value is described
in Table 7-4. The maximum number of characters is 12. See the following examples for
PC n format: PC 10, PC 10.0, PC 010.00, etc…
Reads the Output current setting. Returns the string “n” where “n” is the exact string sent
in the PC n command. When in Local mode, returns the PREView (front panel) settings
in a 5 digit string.
Reads the actual Output current. Returns a 5 digit string.
Example: 200A supply sends 000.50, 110.12, 200.00, etc…
