6. Remote Interface communication protocol
The communication protocol includes standard SCPI commands and a few
proprietary commands which follow the SCPI convention.
6.1 Prefaces
The SCPI interface enables users to operate the model
XLN3640/XLN6024/XLN8018/XLN10014 supply through a computer or a
terminal equipped with IEEE-488.2 GPIB or USB interface. Additionally, it
allows remote control and monitoring.
SCPI IEEE-488.2 version supports multi units control capability that allows a
user to control up to 32 XLN3640/XLN6024/XLN8018/XLN10014 units.
6.2 Parameters Definition
Type Valid Arguments
<boolean > " ON" or 1, " OFF" or 0
<NR1 > The data format <NR1> is defined in IEEE-488.2 for
integers. Zero, positive and negative integer numeric
values are valid data.
<NRf >
The data format <NRf> is defined in IEEE-488.2 for
flexible Numeric Representation. Zero, positive and
negative floating-point numeric values are some
examples of valid data.
<string > Characters enclosed by single or double quotes
<LF > Line Feed, Hex code is 0x0Ah
<CR> Carriage Return, Hex code is 0x0Dh
<END > End or identify
Note: All commands are terminated with <CR> and <LF> characters. A
space is always included in between the command and the parameter.
For example, to set the GPIB address of 10 to a
XLN3640/XLN6024/XLN8018/XLN10014. The command line is sent:
ADDR 10<CR><LF>
Note: The <LF> and <CR> are not presented in the following examples and
command descriptions. However, users must add them as termination
