7.5.7 Error message
7.5.8 Backspace
If an error is detected in a command or query, the power supply will respond with an error
message. Refer to section 7.6 for details.
The backspace character (ASCII 8) clears the last character sent to the power supply.
The power supply will return error messages for illegal commands and illegal programming
parameters. Refer to Table 7-1 for programming error messages and Table 7-2 for commands
error messages.

7.7 COMMAND SET DESCRIPTION
7.7.1 General guides
7.7.2 Command set categories
1. Any command or argument may be in capital letters or small letters.
2. In commands with an argument, a space must be between the command and the argument.
3. For any command that sets a numeric value, the value may be up to 12 characters long.
4. Carriage Return: If the CR character (ASCII 13) is received by itself, the power supply will
respond with "OK" and CR.
The Genesys 3300W series command set is divided into four categories as follows:
1. Initialization control
2. ID control
3. Output control
4. Status control

Description
Returned when program voltage (PV) is programmed above acceptable range.
Example: PV value is above '105% of supply rating' or 'PV above 95% of OVP setting'.
Returned when programming output voltage below UVLsetting.
Returned when OVP is programmed below acceptable range.
Example:OVP value is less than '5% of supply voltage rating' plus 'voltage setting'.
Returned when UVLvalue is programmed above the programmed output voltage.
Returned when programming the Output to ON during a fault shut down.

7.7.3 Initialization control commands
ADR is followed by address which can be 0 to 30 and is used to access the
power supply .
Clear status. Sets FEVE and SEVE registers to zero (refer to section 7-8).
Reset command. Brings the power supply to a safe and known state:
Output voltage: zero, Remote: non-latched remote,
Output current: zero, Auto-start: Off,
Output: Off, OVP: maximum,
FOLD: Off, UVL: zero
The conditional registers (FLT and STAT) are updated, the other registers are
not changed.
Command
Sets the power supply to local or remote mode:
1. RMT 0 or RMT LOC, sets the power supply into Local mode.
2. RMT 1 or RMT REM, sets the unit into remote mode.
3. RMT 2 or RMT LLO, sets the unit into Local Lockout mode (latched remote mode).

Returns the Remote mode setting:
1. "LOC"- The unit is in Local mode.
2. "REM"- The unit is in Remote mode.
3. "LLO"- The unit is in Local Lockout (latched remote) mode.
Returns MD MODE OPTION Status. 1 indicates installed and 0 indicates not
installed.
Repeat last command. If \<CR> is received, the power supply will repeat the
last command.

Description
Sets the output voltage value in Volts. The range of voltage value is described in
Table7-3. The maximum number of characters is 12. See the following examples
for PV n format: PV 12, PV 012, PV 12.0, PV 012.00, etc...
Reads the output voltage setting. Returns the string "n" where "n" is the exact
string sent in the PV n command. When in Local mode, returns the PREVIEW
(front panel) settings in a 5 digits string.
Reads the actual output voltage. Return 5 digits string.
Example: 60V supply sends 01.150, 15.012, 50.000, etc...
