Operating the Power Supply Remotely
Connecting to the Interfaces ..........................................................................48
SCPI Commands – an Introduction ................................................................58
This chapter contains information on how to configure the three
remote interfaces that are provided on the back of the instrument. In
most cases you can connect your power supply to any one of these
interfaces and be up and running with a minimum amount of
configuration.
NOTE Detailed information on configuring the remote interfaces is included in the
USB/LAN/GPIB Interfaces Connectivity Guide document located on the
Automation-Ready CD-ROM included with this product.
This chapter also contains a brief introduction to the SCPI
Programming language. SCPI (Standard Commands for
Programmable Instruments) is a programming language for
controlling instrument functions over the GPIB. SCPI is layered on
top of the hardware-portion of IEEE 488.2. The same SCPI commands
and parameters control the same functions in different classes of
instruments.
