Command

Description

ASTS?

Asks for the supply’s accumulated status register. The accumulated status

 

register stores any bit that was entered in the status register since the

 

accumulated status query command (ASTS?) was last used, regardless of

 

whether the condition still exists. The accumulated status register has the

 

same bits, weights, and conditions as the status register. A bit in the

 

accumulated status register will be set at 1 if the corresponding bit in the

 

status register has been 1 (TRUE) at any time since the register was last

 

read. See “Accumulated Status, Status, and Fault Registers” on page 47.

 

The ASTS? query clears the status register.

 

Response: ASTS <status mask> where status mask is the decimal

 

equivalent of the total bit weights for the operating conditions as listed in the

 

status register.

AUXA <1/ON>,<0/OFF>

Controls the AUXA output signal level at rear panel connector J21-7. Active

 

low.

 

Initial value: AUXA 0

AUXA?

Asks for the present set value of the AUXA output signal.

 

Response: AUXA 0 (OFF)

 

AUXA 1 (ON)

AUXB <1/ON>,<0/OFF>

Controls the AUXB output signal level at rear panel connector J21-8. Active

 

low.

 

Initial value: AUXB 0

AUXB?

Asks for the present set value of the AUXB output signal.

 

Response: AUXB 0 (OFF)

 

AUXB 1 (ON)

CLR

Initializes the power supply to its power ON condition. If issued while in local

 

mode, CLR will force power supply settings to register default values as in

 

but these default settings will not come into effect until the power supply is

 

switched to remote mode operation. The CLR commands will clear faults

 

from the fault register. CLR will not reset CMODE.

 

 

CMODE <1/ON>,<0/OFF>

CMODE ON places the power supply into calibration mode for processing

 

calibration commands.

 

Initial value: CMODE OFF or CMODE 0

 

 

CMODE?

Asks for the power supply’s calibration mode status.

 

Response: CMODE 0 (disabled)

 

CMODE 1 (enabled)
