Remote Programming
NOTE:
When shipped, all units are set to the SCPI programming language. The language setting
is saved in non-volatile memory.
To change the programming language from SCPI to COMPatibility language, press the
front panel
COMP, then press
remote programming.
The dc source may be remotely programmed via the HP-IB bus and/or from an RS-232 serial port. HP-IB
programming is with SCPI commands (Standard Commands for Programmable Instruments), which make
the dc source programs compatible with those of other HP-IB instruments. Dc source status registers
allow remote monitoring of a wide variety of dc source operating conditions. A Compatibility language
mode is also included to make the dc source compatible with the HP 6632A, 6633A, and 6634A Series
dc power supplies (refer to appendix E). Note that the compatibility features of this unit are limited to the
features that were originally available on HP 6632A, 6633A, and 6634A units.
