RS-422 Serial Commands
Note: In the following commands, “nn” represents the net node of the power supply that is to
receive the command. To send a global command to all power supplies in a network
configuration, “nn” should be set to C8 hex (200 decimal). The “-- --” in the hex string is the MSB
followed by the LSB of a type int. The integer is the value found in the additional information
column.
