5.6.1 General Information

The average command processing time of the ZUP Series is 15mSec. It is not recommended to send
strings of commands to the ZUP power supply without considering the processing time.
For query commands ( ? , ! ) , wait until the ZUP reply message has been completed , before sending a
new command.

5.6.2 Accessing a ZUP Unit

The default condition of the ZUP series is Listen mode. In order to access a ZUP unit, for sending a
command or query, the address of that unit should be sent by the host controller (:ADRn;). The ZUP
that recognizes it's address becomes active and can communicate with the host controller. The other
units remain in Listen mode, waiting to receive their address. To access another unit, the controller
should send the address of that unit. The previously active unit changes it's state to Listen mode and
the addressed unit becomes active.
