Table B.15Legacy Commands

Function	Legacy Command	Description	Query
Reset	CLR	Equivalent to *RST and SYSTem:RESet commands	N/A
		Performs a device reset. Set the power supply to a known state that is independent of
		the use history of the device
Query System Error	ERR?	Equivalent to SYSTem:ERRor? command except that the return string contains the	N/A
		command
		Returns the next error in the instrument’s error queue
Identification Query	ID?	Query identification string. (Model ID and Version)	N/A
Read Output Current	IOUT?	Equivalent to MEASure:CURRent? command	N/A
		Read output current
Set High Current Limit	IMAX <current>	Equivalent to SOURce:CURRent:LIMit:HIGH <current> command.	Yes
		Set upper limit of current setpoint range (soft limits)
Set (Immediate) Current	ISET <current>	Equivalent to SOURce:CURRent command.	Yes
Setpoint		Change current setpoint
Set Output State	OUT <on-off-state>	Equivalent to OUTP <on-of-state> command.	Yes
		Enable/disable the power supply output
Set Over Voltage	OVSET <voltage>	Equivalent to SOURce:VOLTage:PROTection:OVER:LEVel <voltage> command.	Yes
Protection Level		Set the over voltage protection level
ROM Query	ROM?	Queries the main firmware version	N/A
Clear Output Protection	RST	Equivalent to OUTPut:PROTection:CLEar command.	N/A
		Clears the protection mechanism
Set High Voltage Limit	VMAX <voltage>	Equivalent to SOURce:VOLTage:LIMit:HIGH <voltage> command.	Yes
		Set upper limit of voltage setpoint range (soft limits)
Read Output Voltage	VOUT?	Equivalent to MEASure:VOLTage? command.	N/A
		Read output voltage
Set (Immediate) Voltage	VSET <voltage>	Equivalent to SOURce:VOLTage command.	Yes
Setpoint		Change voltage setpoint

Notes:

All legacy commands that change a value conform to the same rules as SCPI. Commands will cause an error if the unit’s remote source, remote state, current share mode status and calibration status is incorrect.

Legacy commands do not have multichannel capabilities.

Query commands return a string containing the command itself.

The “CLR” command does not clear any legacy fault registers.

The “RST” command only clears the protections so that the voltage and setpoints can take effect. It does not change any setpoint values. When a protection is tripped the unit’s output may be turned off (configurable).
