Comprehensive Guide to ARPS/SCPI Commands for Power Supply Models 6031A and More

ARPS/SCPI Commands

Table C-6 lists the ARPS commands and compares them with the equivalent SCPI commands recognized by the Agilent series 603xA power supplies. Note that the Agilent Series 603xA power supplies use only a subset of SCPI commands. Use the SYST:LANG command to change between the two languages.

Note	See Table 3-7 in Section III for command parameter ranges and Table 3-6 for the initial turn-on values.
