Compatibility Language

Introduction
The Agilent 66111A and 66311B dc sources 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 the Agilent 66111A/66311B 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 8. The language setting is saved in non-volatile memory.
Table F-2 summarizes the COMPatibility commands. You may need to refer to the HP/Agilent Series
6632A, 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.
