SCPI Command Reference
SCPI Command Summary
Table B.15Legacy CommandsNotes: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).
Function Legacy Command Description Query
Reset CLR Equivalent to *RST and SYSTem:RESet commands
Performs a device reset. Set the power supply to a known state that is independent of
the use history of the device
N/A
Query System Error ERR? Equivalent to SYSTem:ERRor? command except that the return string contains the
command

N/A
Identification Query ID? Query identification string. (Model ID and Version) N/A
Read Output Current IOUT? Equivalent to MEASure:CURRent? command
Read output current
N/A
