PROGRAMMING COMMAND SET FOR AMREL PD SERIES POWER SUPPLY
Introduction
This manual gives the syntax and parameters for all the programming commands used by AMREL PD
series power supply, including the terms, symbols, and syntactical structures used here and gives an
introduction to programming. You should also be familiar with front panel operation in order to understand
how the power supply functions.
The programming examples are simple applications of SCPI commands. Because the SCPI syntax remains
the same for all programming languages, the examples given for each command are generic.
Syntax Forms Syntax definitions use the long form, but only short form headers (or "keywords")
appear in the examples. Use the long form to help make your program self-documenting.
Parameters Most commands require a parameter and all queries will return a parameter. The
range for a parameter may vary according to the model of power supply. When
this is the case, refer to the Specifications table.
Models If a command only applies to specific models, those models are listed in the
<Model> Only entry. If there is no <Model> Only entry, the command applies to
all models.
Related Commands Where appropriate, related commands or queries are included. These are listed
because they are either directly related by function, or because reading about them
will clarify or enhance your understanding of the original command or query.
Order of Presentation The manual is organized according to the following categories: common
commands, subsystem commands, Non-SCPI commands, and IEEE 488.1
commands. Each category commands that follow are arranged in alphabetical
order. Section 1, command list includes all the commands.
