Appendix D Compatibility

Differences – In General

The following table documents the general differences between the way Compatibility commands work on the Agilent N5700 power supplies and the way they worked on the Agilent 603xA power supplies.

Item

Differences

Queries

The Agilent N5700 will respond to multiple queries.

 

It will not allow a space separator between numbers.

 

It will not allow a user to query information, read back only a portion of the information,

 

send another command, and finish reading back the information from the original query.

 

Sending a second query without reading the response to the first will generate an error.

 

Model number queries will only return the N5700 model numbers.

 

 

Status functions

Serial Poll will be controlled by the SCPI status model and will not act like a 603xA

 

power supply.

 

SRQ will be controlled by the SCPI status model.

 

Parallel poll will not work.

 

 

Settings

The full-scale limits will match the Agilent N5700 limits.

 

 

Measurement

Floating point numbers returned by the instrument may not have exactly the same

 

syntax or number of digits.

 

 

Calibration

Calibration must be done in SCPI.

 

 

Storage states

The Agilent N5700 units have 16 volatile states.
