Query

SCPI Version Query

Example:

Set a slew rate of 100V/10s for a 100V-60A power supply. This slew rate is 1V/0.1s, which is within the acceptable range.

Send the commands:

“:VOLT:SLEW:STEP 1”, and “:VOLT:SLEW:INT 100ms”

Using smaller steps will result in a smoother curve.

The identification query command returns a string that states the manufacturer, model, serial number, and firmware revision.

*IDN?

may return “Xantrex, XFR 10-120, 100000, 3.000/0/0/0000.

*OPT?

or

SYST<channel>:OPTion?

The option identification query returns a string listing any reportable options that are installed in the power supply. Reportable options are GPIB and CANbus, but may include others in the future. A zero will be returned if no options are installed.

Example:

*OPT? may return "GPIB, CANBUS" to indicate that both the GPIB and CANbus (Multichannel/Current Share) options are installed.

SYST:VERS?

will return the SCPI version to which the unit complies (for example 1997-0).
