Codes and Standards
This power supply conforms to the following international standards:
• IEEE Std. 488.2-1992, "IEEE Standard Codes, Formats, Protocols,
and Common Commands For Use With IEEE Std. 488.1-1987"
• IEEE Std. 488.1-1987 "IEEE Standard Digital Interface for
Programmable Instrumentation"
• TIA/EIA-232F
• Standard Commands for Programmable Instruments (SCPI) Version
1999.0
GPIB control implements all IEEE 488.2 requirements.
The power supply conforms to the following SCPI requirements:
• SCPI mandated commands
• Questionable Status Register (QSR), Condition, Event, Enable
• Operation Status Register (OSR), Condition, Event, Enable
• Status Byte Register (SBR)
• Standard Event Status Register (SESR)
Refer to IEEE 488.2, section 7.7.3 for the definition of units of measure.
The default units of measure include:
• V (Volt – voltage)
• A (Ampere – current)
• W (Watt – power)
• S (seconds – time)
These units are only supported as defaults. To place the unit in the
command will cause an error to be pushed into the error queue.
