Instruction manual

NOTE:
<SP> = Null or space character (20H)
<AARD> = Arbitrary ASCII Response Data
<NR.DATA> = Numeric Data
<EOS> = End of string character (OAH)
<Channel_list> = Channel Number operation.
The format for giving the channel list is
(@1) : Channel number 1
(@1,2) : Channel nos. 1 & 2.
(@1,2:4) : Channel numbers 1,2,3,4.
Brackets are compulsory.
6.6.1 SPECIAL NOTES ON THE COMMANDS FOR VSP SERIES:
1). All commands for the unit are in the IEEE-488.2 and SCPI format.
2). All mandatory commands for IEEE-488.2 are implemented in unit.
3). Also the command has to be sent with proper terminator. Else the command
processing will not start.
4). For the responses of query commands, the Response Message Terminator or
EOS character will be OAH (New Line) character.
5). For all commands <AARD> means Arbitrary ASCII Response Data and
<NR.DATA> means Numeric Data.
6). For wrong commands, the command error bit will be set & an error message is
put into Error Queue.
7). Unit will go to remote mode for all valid commands. Queries will not force the unit
into remote mode.
8). If you send more than one query in a <PROGRAM MESSAGE>, only the LAST
correct query will be processed and response will be given for last query.
9). The Channel list in the command is optional for single channel power supply.
46
10). No response can be read without first giving a query. Otherwise the query
error bit will be set & an error message is generated.
11). The local lockout can be set when the instrument is in remote mode of operation.
12). The address of the IEEE-488 interface is default set to 0.
