This section first presents a tree summary of the STATus commands and then
provides a tabular description.
Note: See Section 5 for further information.

STATUS SCPI Command Reference

9.13.2
The letter "C" in the "SCPI" column means that the command syntax is SCPI compliant;
an "N" in the "SCPI" column means that the command syntax is not part of the SCPI
definition.

EXAMPLES OF USING THE SCPI COMMANDS

9.14
The following examples demonstrate programming a power supply to control and to
readback the output using the SCPI commands. The maximum voltage and current
output is dependent on the particular model. The examples list only the SCPI
commands; the code required to send the commands is dependent on the type of
language you are using (e.g., C or BASIC) and GPIB hardware (e.g., National
Instruments).

VI Mode Example

9.14.1
Program a unit with no load at the output to 5 VDC @ 1A and verify the output.
// Use SYST:ERR? after each command to verify no programming errors.
// turn on the unit.
*CLS
*RST
9-38
Status Protection subsystem.
Returns the integer value of the Protection Condition Register. Used
to read the status of the power hardware. See section 9.2.1 for a
detailed table of the various bits that make up this register.
Sets the enable mask of the Protection Event Register, which allows
true conditions to be reported in the summary bit of the Protection
Condition Register.
Returns the value of the current mask of the Protection Event
Register.
Returns the integer value of the Protection Event Register.
// clear the unit to its power-on default settings.
// reset the unit.
