Introduction

In addition to the front panel interface, the XTR can be remotely

controlled through the various remote interfaces. The XTR implements

the SCPI standard as its command line interface for remotely controlling

the power supply. Additionally, a small subset of legacy Xantrex

commands has been provided for ease of use and backwards

compatibility. All of the remote interfaces use the same command line

interface.

This chapter is divided into two parts:

• Hardware and Connection Setup provides information on how to

setup a connection to the different remote interfaces available on the

XTR. The remote interfaces covered include RS-232, RS-485, USB,

GPIB and ENET.

• Command Line Interface and SCPI explains how to send commands

to the power supply using the SCPI commands and the theory behind

SCPI.

Hardware and Connection Setup

This section provides information on setting up the hardware and is

organized into setup for each hardware type. Once the section has been

successfully completed, data can be sent to and responses received from

the power supply. Select which hardware interface to use and follow the

instructions and diagram for that hardware set up.

Configuring Remote Control Using RS-232

To configure remote control using RS-232:

1. Use the top J4 connector of the two 8-pin RJ-45 jacks, as shown in

Figure 5-1, to connect to the RS-232 remote interface.

2. Connect from PC to power supply using a cable that meets the

cabling specifications listed in Table 5-1.
