Compatibility Appendix D
Compatibility Command Summary
The following table documents the compatibility commands that the Agilent N5700 power supplies support. All compatibility commands are accepted; however, some commands do nothing.
Compatibility Command | Description | Similar SCPI |
|
| Command |
ASTS? | Queries the accumulated status (ASTS). The response represents the sum |
| of the binary weights of the ASTS register bits. The ASTS register is set to |
| the present status after being queried. |
CLR | Returns the power supply to the |
DLY <delay> | Generates error 203. |
DLY? | Generates error 203. |
ERR? | Queries the present programming or hardware error. An error code number |
| is returned over the GPIB to identify the error. The error register is cleared |
| after being read. |
FAULT? | Queries the fault register. A bit is set in the fault register when the |
| corresponding bit in both the status and the mask registers. The response |
| is an integer 0 to 255. The fault register is cleared after being read. |
FOLD | Turns the OCP on or off. This is only allowed for constant current mode |
| (FOLD 2). Constant voltage mode (FOLD1) generates error 203. |
FOLD? | Queries the OCP setting. The response is FOLD 2. |
HOLD | When turned on (HOLD 1), causes the VSET, ISET, FOLD, and UNMASK |
| values to be held until a trigger occurs. This only applies to the |
| compatibility functions, not the SCPI functions |
HOLD? | Queries the hold setting. The response is HOLD 1. |
ID? | Queries the identification (model number) of the power supply. |
IMAX | Sets a soft programming limit for current. Attempting to program the |
| current above this setting will generate an error. |
IMAX? | Queries the IMAX setting. The response is a real number. |
IOUT? | Queries the measured output current. The response is a real number. |
ISET <current> | Sets the output current. |
ISET? | Queries the present current setting. The response is a real number. |
OUT <onoff> | Turns the output on or off. On/off equals 1 turns the output on; equals 0 |
| turns the output off. |
OUT? | Queries whether the output is turned on or off . The response is OUT 1 (on) |
| or OUT O (off). The front panel displays OFF when the output is off. |
