Xantrex Technology XMP 2600 manual

Commands and Queries Reference			Alphabetical reference
CSTS?	return the Power Module Status Structure data. The response is six
	decimal numbers representing the bits of the status registers. The
	registers are presented in the following order: Channel Event Status
	Register, Channel Warning Status Register, Channel Output Status
	Register, Channel Fault Status Register, Channel Status Register,
	Channel Error Code. The Channel Event Status Register is cleared and
	<rqs> and <ist> are re-calculated.
	Syntax	CSTS? <ch>
	Parameters	the number of the channel to be queried.
	Category	Status	Type: Sequential
DISC	program the Power Module to connect or disconnect its output relay.
	Syntax	DISC <ch>,<int>
	Parameters	the number of the Power Module to be programmed.
		the desired state of the output relay: a value of “0”
		will cause the relay to close and a value of “1” will
		cause the relay to open.
	Category	Output	Type: Overlapped
DISC?	return the state of the output relay. A value of “0” is returned for a
	close relay and a value of “1” is returned for an open relay.
	Syntax	DISC? <ch>
	Parameters	the number of the channels to be queried.
	Category	Output	Type: Sequential
DLY	program the	Power Module’s re-programming delay period.
	Following a change in the output settings of a Power Module there
	will be a period of time in which the Power Module will ignore
	abnormal working conditions. In addition, during this re-programming
	delay period, the Over Voltage Protection settings will, temporarily,
	be set to maximum.
	Syntax	DLY <ch>,<int>
	Parameters	the number of the Power Module to be programmed.
		the amount of delay expressed in seconds. The
		allowed range is 0 to 25.5. The resolution used by
		the Power Module is 0.1 of a second.
	Category	Settings	Type: Sequential
DLY?	return the current re-programming delay period of the Power Module.
	The returned value is a decimal number in the range 0 to 25.5.
	Syntax	DLY? <ch>
	Parameters	the number of the channel to be queried.
	Category	Settings	Type: Sequential
