Channel NU 31 30 29 28 27 26 25
<Note> 1) Example: If the returned string is “&H7FFFFFFE”, it means only channel 1 was connected
and passed the self-test by converting the Hexadecimal value “7FFFFFFE” to binary value which is
“0111 1111 1111 1111 1111 1111 1111 1110” and comparing the bit configuration with the above
table to get the channel number.
<Note> 2) Example: If the returned value is a series of numbers, such as “26 48 37 46 46 46 46 46 46
45”, it represents ASCII code in Hexadecimal format, same as “&H7FFFFFFE “. It means only
channel 1 was connected and passed the self-test.
DESCRIPTION OF SUBSYSTEM COMMANDS
ABOR
This command cancels any trigger actions presently in process. Pending trigger levels are reset equal to
their corresponding immediate values. ABOR also cancels any programmed lists that may be in process.
ABOR also resets the WTG bit in the Operation Condition Status register. ABOR is executed at power
turn on and upon execution of *RST.

CALIBRATION SUBSYSTEM
The commands in this subsystem allow users to do the following:
x Enable and disable the calibration mode.
x Calibrate the current and voltage output levels, and store new calibration constants in nonvolatile
memory.
x Reload calibration data and store it in nonvolatile memory.
CAL:CURR
This command can only be used in the calibration mode. It enters a current value that users obtain by
reading an external meter. Users must first select a calibration level (CAL:CURR:LEV) for the value
being entered. Two successive values (one for each end of the calibration range) must be selected and
entered. The power supply then computes new current calibration constants. These constants are not stored
in nonvolatile memory until saved with the *SAV <channel> commands.
