Section 3. Operation

Introduction

This section covers RS-232 interface programming, including an extensive set of device-dependent commands, and providing error codes, and status and fault register information.

RS-232 Operation

The RS-232 interface card lets you send and receive data between your power supply and computer, relying on bit serial communication. You can use the computer controller to issue commands to the power supply for programming, queries, calibration, or status. The power supply responds to the complete command set of device dependent software commands shown in “Command Reference” on page 44.

Command Syntax

Manual The manual uses these conventions when displaying command information. These Conventions characters are not part of the command but are used to denote parameters used with

the command.

< > (angle brackets)	Angle brackets enclose a parameter. Do not include
	the angle brackets in the command line you send to
	the computer.
/ (slash)	Separates two alternative parameters. When a slash
	separates two parameters, you can use either
	parameter to achieve the same result.
	Example: <1/ON>
	Entering 1 or ON will achieve the same result.
COMPUTER ENTRY	Words typed on the computer are shown in Arial
	text, full capitals.
