8.5.5. Checksum
The user may add a checksum (optional) to the end of the command. This ensures no
data bits are corrupted by bad wires or noise. The checksum is “$” followed by two hex
characters. If a command or a query has a checksum, the response will also have one.
There is no CR between the command string and the “$” sign.
Example: STT?3A
STAT?$7B
8.5.6. Acknowledge
The power supply acknowledges received commands by returning an “OK” message. If
an error is detected the power supply will return an error message. The rules of
checksum apply also to the acknowledge.
8.5.7. Error Message
If an error is detected in command or query, the power supply will respond with an error
message. Refer to Section 8.6 for details.
8.5.8. Backspace
The backspace character (ASCII 8) clears the last character sent to the power supply.
8.6. Error Messages
The power supply will return error messages for illegal commands and illegal programming
parameters. Refer to Table 8-1 for programming error messages and Table 8-2 for
commands error messages.
Table 8-1: Programming Error Messages
Error Code Description
E01 Returned when program voltage (PV) is programmed above acceptable range.
Example: PV above ‘105% of supply rating’
E02 Returned when programming output voltage below UVL setting.
E04 Returned when OVP is programmed below acceptable range.
Example: OVP less than 5% of supply voltage rating’ plus ‘voltage setting’.
E06 Returned when UVL is programmed above the programmed output voltage.
E07 Returned when programming the Output to ON during a fault shut down.
Table 8-2: Commands Error Messages
Error Code Description
C01
Illegal command or query
C02 Missing parameter
C03
Illegal parameter
