Remote Operation

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.
