Page 37: Overview Of Command
Overview of Command Overview of Command The information that is exchanged between the controller (PC) and the device (PMX series) is called a message. The PMX uses the SCPI language for the messages. There are two types of messages, commands that are sent from the PC to the PMX and responses that are sent from the PMX to the PC. -
Page 38: Command Syntax
This compound command contains two root nodes, SYSTem and VOLTage. When the second or subsequent command starts with a colon, the path specified by the previous command is cleared. • The maximum number of characters that can be transmitted in a single line is 128. KIKUSUI Electronics Corp. - Page 39 Overview of Command ■ Special symbols Special symbols used in this manual to describe SCPI commands are defined be- low. • Characters and numbers delimited by "|" in braces indicate that one of the items is to be selected. Do not include the braces in the actual program. •...
- Page 40 ■ Common commands The IEEE-488.2 and SCPI standards contain a set of common commands for re- set, self-test, and other functions. These common commands always start with an asterisk. The commands may have one or multiple parameters. KIKUSUI Electronics Corp.

Page 41: Parameters
Overview of Command Parameters The parameter format of SCPI is derived from the program parameter format de- fined in IEEE 488.2. The representation system of the program data that is used on the PMX is indicat- ed below. ■ Non-numeric parameters Character string data (String) Used when a series of ASCII characters are requested. - Page 42 The syntax as a numeric representation is the same as NRf. MINimum and MAXimum are available as substitutes for declaring certain values. Units such as V, A, and W can also be used in a numeric parameter. KIKUSUI Electronics Corp.
- Page 43 Overview of Command ■ Special form numeric parameters The special form numeric parameters MINimum and MAXimum can be used as substitutes for limit values when the parameter is numeric. In the example below, the current limit is set to the minimum value. SOURce:CURRent MINimum Queries can be used to inquire the minimum and maximum values for most param- eters.
- Page 44 • The unit symbols in the International System of Units contain lowercase charac- ters. The IEEE standard uses uppercase characters. SCPI commands are not case sensitive. • Commands are accepted whether or not measurement units are specified. • To enter “µ” in the data, use “U” instead. KIKUSUI Electronics Corp.

Page 173: Using Triggers To Change Settings (Transient) (Pmx-A Only)
Tutorial Using Triggers to Change Settings (TRANsient) (PMX-A only) You can use triggers to synchronize the setting of the voltage and current. This is convenient if you want to synchronize output changes with the action of other instruments such as electronic loads. To reserve triggered settings, use the VOLT- age:TRIGgered and CURRent:TRIGgered commands. - Page 174 Immediately after the setting is made. 20 V 10 V After a trigger is sent. 10 V 10 V After *RST is sent. When "VOLT 30" (to change the voltage) is 30 V 30 V (cancel) sent before sending a trigger KIKUSUI Electronics Corp.

Page 175: Using The Tracking Function (Pmx-Multi Only)
Tutorial Using the tracking function (PMX-Multi only) The tracking function is used to change the output of other channels by controlling a single channel. There are two change modes: absolute value change and per- centage change. • Absolute value change The output of target channels change to the same values (absolute values) along with the changes in the reference channel. - Page 176 'Specify CH3 as the reference channel. OUTP ON,(@3) 'Turn on the CH3 output. TRAC:ABS:VOLT -3 'CH3 will be set to 7 V. CH1 and CH2 do not change. Disable the tracking function. TRAC OFF 'Disable the tracking function.

Page 177: Status Monitoring
Tutorial Status Monitoring The PMX has two mandatory SCPI standard registers, STATus:OPERation and STATus:QUEStionable, in addition to the IEEE488.2 standard registers. ■ Register basics All SCPI registers have standard event/filter architecture, employing CONDition, EVENt, ENABle, and optionally PTRansition and NTRansition. CONDition and EVENt are read-only registers working as status indicators, and ENABle, PTRansi- tion and NTRansition are read-write registers working as event and summary filters. - Page 178 All channels whose corresponding bits are true are operating abnormally. You can determine how the specified channel is operating abnormally by checking the STA- Tus:QUEStionable:INStrument:ISUMmary<n> subregister of the channel. STATus:QUEStionable:INSTrument:ISUMmary2? ‘Check whether the OV bit of channel 2 is set. KIKUSUI Electronics Corp.
- Page 179 Tutorial ■ PON (Power ON) bit The PON bit (bit 7) in the event status register is set whenever the PMX is turned on. The most common use for the PON bit is to generate an SRQ at power-on to keep track of unexpected loss of power or power line failure.
