5Commands and Queries Reference

This chapter describes all the commands and queries available when programming the XMP 2600 from a remote controller. The chapter provides a list of Commands and Queries grouped by category and an alphabetical reference of Commands and Queries.

Categories

IEEE 488.1 BUS Commands

This part of the commands and queries reference lists all of them divided into functional categories.

Device Clear	Clear input and output queues. Abort Operation
	Complete Hold-Off.

System

Commands

and Queries

This is the only way to remotely recover from a situation where the XMP 2600 Main Controller is holding off command parsing due to executing one of the following commands: *OPC, *OPC? and *WAI. This method is available only with GPIB.

Device Trigger ............................... Toggle Global Output Enable On / Off.

*IDN?	return a string identifying the XMP 2600.
*OPT?	return a “1” if the XMP 2600 has a Front.
*RCL	restores settings of all the Power Modules.
*RST	returns the XMP 2600 to its Power On state.
*SAV	stores settings of all the Power Modules.
*SDS	initialize the contents of a storage area.
*TST?	initiates a self-test of the XMP 2600 main control circuits.
BUFCLR	empty the Output Queue.
CHNL?	return installed Power Modules.
CLR	returns the XMP 2600 to its power on state
CONF?	initiates a self-test of the XMP 2600 main control circuits.
DSP	display or remove a message on the XMP 2600 front panel display.
