Xantrex Technology XMP 2600 specification

Commands and Queries Reference			Alphabetical reference
GLBL	inform the XMP 2600 Main Controller on shut-down behavior of the
	installed Power Modules.
	Syntax	GLBL <int>,<int>
	Parameters	the two integers are (respectively) the high and low
		parts of a 16 bits word where each bit represent a
		Power Module. If the bit value is “0” then that
		Power Module will not globally shut-down when
		faulty. If the bit value is ”1” then this Power Module
		will cause a global shut-down when it is faulty.
		Works in combination with the GRP command.
	Category	System	Type: Sequential
GLBL?	return the current Global Shut-down set-up of all Power Modules. The
	response is made up of two decimal numbers (each in the range 0 to

255)being the high (sent first) and low parts of a 16 bits word. Each bit in the response represents the Global set-up of a Power Module (see GLBL command for details on bit values).

	Syntax	GLBL?
	Parameters	none
	Category	System	Type: Sequential
GPIB	set-up the operating mode of the XMP 2600. Re-calculate <rqs>.
	Syntax	GPIB <int>
	Parameters	the mode the XMP 2600 is to be operating in: a
		value of “1” is for the IEEE 488.2 compatible mode.
	Category	System	Type: Sequential
GPIB?	return the	current operating mode of the XMP 2600. The value
	returned is a decimal number in the range 0 to 1.
	Syntax	GPIB?
	Parameters	none
	Category	System	Type: Sequential
GRP	define the members of the group of Power Modules to be shutdown
	when one (or more) is faulty.
	Syntax	GRP <int>,<int>
	Parameters	the two integers are (respectively) the high and low
		parts of a 16-bit word where each bit represents a
		Power Module. If the bit value is “0” then that
		Power Module is not part of the group. If the bit
		value is ”1” then this Power Module will be
		shutdown when any of the group’s members is
		faulty.
	Category	System	Type: Sequential
