SCPI Commands for Digital Interfaces

SCPI Commands for Digital Interfaces

These SCPI commands are for use with GPIB, RS-232 and Multichannel remote digital interfaces.

Set Up Power For a complete list of commands and remote functionality, see Appendix B, “SCPI ON Defaults Command Reference”.

The Power On configuration can be set with one of 4 options:

•Factory Preset: The output is reset to the original factory levels at power on.

•Last Setting: The output is set to the same levels as when it was last powered OFF.

•User Settings: The output is set to a stored setting that is recalled from memory. See “Store User Settings” on page 77.

•Auto Sequence: The output is controlled by a program that is recalled from memory. See “Auto Sequencing” on page 136.

All these options can be accessed from the Front Panel menus, or remotely through a set of digital commands. The instructions that follow show how to work remotely through SCPI commands.

Refer to Table 3.1, “Settings Affected by Recall,” on page 81 for more details.

Factory Preset

Selecting Factory Preset lets you restore the factory defaults the next time the power supply is powered ON.

To power on factory settings:

OUTP:PON:REC PRES

To check the current user setting:

OUTP:PON:REC?

The response should be PRES, which stands for PRESet.
