B

Compatibility Language

Introduction

The Agilent power supplies covered by this manual are programmatically compatible with the HP/Agilent 6632A, 6633A, and 6634A dc power supplies. This means that by using COMPatibility language mode you can program these newer dc sources over the GPIB using COMPatibility commands.

To switch from SCPI commands to COMPatibility commands (and vice versa), use the SYST:LANG command, as documented in chapter 4. The language setting is saved in non-volatile memory.

Table B-2 summarizes the COMPatibility commands that program the supplies. You may need to refer to the HP/Agilent Series 6632, 6633A, and 6634A Operating Guide (p/n 5957-6360) for complete information on the COMPatibility commands.

The rest of this appendix discusses the COMPatibility language status system, and the COMPatibility language error codes.

Note:For complete information on the Compatibility programming language, order the HP/Agilent 6632A/6633A/6634A Operating manual, p/n 5957-6360.
