CAUTION Describes a procedure which, if not performed correctly, could result in damage to data, equipment, or systems. Power Supply Safety WARNING—High Energy and High Voltage Exercise caution when using and calibrating a power supply. High energy levels can be stored at the output voltage terminals on a power supply in normal operation. In addition, potentially lethal voltages exist in the power circuit and on the output and sense connectors of a power supply with a rated output greater than 40 V. Filter capacitors store potentially dangerous energy for some time after power is removed. ! ! vi CAUTION Operate the power supply in an environment free of flammable gases or fumes. To ensure that the power supply’s safety features are not compromised, use the power supply as specified in this manual and do not substitute parts or make any unauthorized modifications. Contact the service technician for service and repair help. Repairs must be made by experienced service technicians only. CAUTION For Use as a Battery Charger When you are using any of these power supplies for battery charging applications, it is essential to provide an appropriately sized fuse or circuit breaker in series between the power supply output and the battery. Installation of a protector (fuse or DC circuit breaker) rated for about 115% of the maximum current rating of the power supply and designed specifically to interrupt the DC voltage of the battery, will provide adequate reverse polarity current protection. Where several power supplies are in parallel, it is best to fuse each one, rather than one large fuse for all.

This ensures that the wiring will not be damaged Capacity even if the load is shorted. Table 2.4. shows the maximum current rating, based on 450A per square centimeter, for various gauges of wire rated for 105°C operation. Operating at the maximum current rating results in a temperature rise of approximately 30°C for a wire operating in free air. Where load wiring must operate in areas with elevated ambient temperatures or bundled with other wiring, use larger gauges or higher temperature-rated wiring.

High energy levels can be stored at the output terminals on a power supply in normal operation. In addition, potentially lethal voltages exist in the power circuit and on the output and sense connectors of a power supply with a rated output greater than 40V. Filter capacitors store potentially dangerous energy for some time after power is removed. ! CAUTION When making connections to the bus bars, ensure that each terminal’s mounting hardware and wiring assembly are placed to avoid touching the other terminal and shorting the power supply outlet. Heavy connecting cables must have some form of strain relief so they don’t loosen the connections or bend the bus bars. Make load connections at the rear of the power supply at the positive and negative output bus bars or to the 4-terminal wire clamp connector, depending on the model. (See Figure 2.7.) Wire Size The wire should be one size larger than necessary to accommodate the required output current. Normally, the next largest commonly used gauge is used. For example, use 10AWG for 20A, and 8AWG for 30A. Isolation The wire must have a suitable insulating coating that will prevent arcing between the positive and negative output current, and must be rated for 105°C operation. 50 Operating Manual for XDC Series Power Supply Artisan Technology Group - Quality Instrumentation ...

Remote sensing lets the power supply track and regulate the output voltage at the load, and thereby compensate for the voltage drop in the load lines. The power supply will only compensate within the limitations of its voltage rating, to a maximum of 5V per load line. Remote sensing is normally only required for critical loads which cannot tolerate the slight voltage drop in the load lines caused by their resistance. Remote sensing has no effect when the power supply is operating in Constant Current mode. Two remote sensing connectors are located on the rear panel of the power supply. See “Rear Panel” on page 30 for location and polarity. Connect 2 wires from these ports to the load, where the power supply cables terminate for your connection. Carefully observe the correct polarity when making the connection. On 12000 Watt units, connect the sense wires to the connector on the top or master power module. The remote sensing input is sensitive to electrical noise, so always use a shielded twisted pair, 22AWG or greater for the sense line cable. Terminate the shield to the supply chassis or the negative output of the power supply for best results. 56 Operating Manual for XDC Series Power Supply Artisan Technology Group - Quality Instrumentation ...

If you suspect that the power supply has been used by someone else since it was received from the factory, be prepared for the unit to power ON with a live DC output. To power on the power supply: 1. Ensure that the AC power switch is OFF. 2. Connect the unit to an AC outlet. 3. Turn on the front panel AC power switch. After a short power-on delay, the digital meters on the front panel and the CV annunciator illuminate. The voltmeter and ammeter displays should read zero. Check the front panel annunciators. If OUT ON is illuminated, press OUT ON/OFF to disable it. The OUT OFF annunciator should now be illuminated. For an illustration of the annunciators and their locations, see Figure 1.5.

The OUT OFF annunciator illuminates; Ouput V and I are 0. The AC OFF alarm, and then the unit fades to black. Power Supply Operating States The power supply has 5 operating states: • • • • • Power-On Output Shutdown Soft Start Normal Operation Calibration Power-On This is the period between the time that AC power is applied to the supply (AC breaker turned on) and the time that the power supply is ready for operation. During this period, the internal circuits are powering up and performing self-tests. At the end of the Power-On period, the supply is normally in its default Power-On mode with the output OFF, VSET=0 and ISET=0. Output In this state, the output is disabled and there is no output regardless of power settings. Shutdown The power supply can be placed in the Output Shutdown state by a command (via the front panel or from the programming interface), via the Interlock signal, or from a protection mechanism. This is also called the Standby mode. Soft Start In this state, the output power is ramping up gradually towards its target load. This reduces equipment stress. This state occurs whenever the supply output is set to ON or a protection state is re-set, and is approximately 2 seconds in duration. Normal This is the normal operating state for the power supply. The power supply is ready Operation to accept commands. Calibration This is a service mode that is used to calibrate setpoints and readback levels for accuracy. Calibration should only be performed by qualified service personnel. For detailed information, see Appendix A. 58 Operating Manual for XDC Series Power Supply Artisan Technology Group - Quality Instrumentation ... Guaranteed | (888) 88-SOURCE | www.artisantg.com Operation Power Supply Regulation Modes Power Supply Regulation Modes The power supply has 3 regulation modes while in the Normal Operation State: • • • Constant Voltage (CV) Constant Current (CC) Constant Power (CP) The CV, CC, and CP annunciators indicate the regulation mode. Constant In this mode, the supply’s output voltage is constant while the current and power Voltage (CV) vary with the load. The power supply will operate in constant voltage mode whenever the load current IL is less than the current limit setting ISET, or: IL<ISET. (IL=VSET/RL). In constant voltage mode, the power supply maintains the output voltage at the selected value (VSET) while the load current IL varies with the load requirements. Constant In this mode, the supply’s output current is constant while the voltage and power Current (CC) vary with the load. The power supply will operate in constant current mode whenever the load resistance is low enough that the load current IL is equal to the current limit setting ISET. (VL=ISETRL). In constant current mode, the power supply maintains the output current at the selected value (ISET) while the load voltage VL varies with the load requirements. Constant In this mode, the supply’s output power is constant while the voltage and current Power (CP) vary with the load resistance. The power supply will operate in Constant Power mode when the power drawn by the load is equal to the power setpoint and the product of the voltage and current setpoint (VSET and ISET) is greater than the power limit point (PSET). In Constant Power mode, the power supply maintains the output power at the selected value (PSET) while the load voltage VL and load current IL varies with the load requirements. The power limit is normally set to the maximum supply rating, so the Constant Voltage or Constant Current modes will always be in effect without entering into the Constant Power mode of operation. Automatic This feature allows the power supply to automatically switch operating modes in Mode response to changing load requirements. If, for example, the power supply was Crossover operating in Constant Voltage (CV) Mode (IL < ISET), and the load changed so the load current (IL) became EQUAL TO the current limit setting (ISET), the power supply would automatically switch into Constant Current (CC) Mode and the output voltage would vary in response to changes in load current. If the additional load was subsequently removed so the load current was again LESS THAN the current limit setting, the supply would automatically return to Constant Voltage (CV) Mode.

Slew Rate The slew rate is calculated as a function of change in the output voltage and a given time interval. The maximum slew rate is 1% rated voltage/150us. The slew rate is saved upon power off and restored at power on. Output ON/OFF and shutdown are not affected by the programmable slew rate. These functions have a slew rate of 1%/20ms. The range of output voltage is 5% - 0.1% of rated voltage. The range of time interval is 1.5 s - 150 us. The negative slew rate is limited by the discharge rate of the output capacitors. During current share, slaves operate with their default slew rate. The master operates at its programmed slew rate. Hence a programmable slew rate for the system is achieved. However, this slew rate is limited by the speed of the control loop. The slaves will return to their programmed slew rate when they exit current share slave operation. 102 Operating Manual for XDC Series Power Supply Artisan Technology Group - Quality Instrumentation ...

Connections The tables below show the function and power flow for each pin on these ports. The user lines are optically isolated. The output lines are open collector configuration. The input lines are capable of sinking 10mA (with recommended 5V at input) up to a maximum 90mA. The analog program and monitor lines are fully isolated from the supply output, but not each other. Use precision variable low noise voltage sources for the program lines, and be sure that the program source ground potential is the same as on the analog readback circuitry. The external analog monitoring circuitry must be high impedance because the onboard V and I readback sources have approximately 300 ohms output impedance. Connect your program and readback lines to the removable wire clamp connectors marked “user lines” and “program lines” in Figure 4.1. Strip 0.2” (5mm) of insulation from the wires and clamp securely at the appropriate pin. See Table 4.1, Figure 4.1 and Table 4.2 for the location and function of each connector.

You may remotely Connections control up to 50 power supplies from one programming interface (RS-232 or GPIB) by using multichannel addressing if the CANbus option is installed. One power supply will be connected to a PC via RS-232 or GPIB. All other power supplies are connected via CANbus (Controller Area Network) to that unit. SCPI commands that include a channel address will be sent via the CANbus to the other power supplies. (Commands with the local address will be executed locally and will not be sent). The multichannel address must be appended to the program mnemonic. If no multichannel address is appended to the program mnemonic, the command is executed by the local (directly connected) power supply. Each unit of the network can send and receive commands to and from other units on the network. It is highly recommended that only one command be sent at a time. Any RS-232 and GPIB timeout settings should be increased when using multichannel commands. CANbus The CANbus port is a one male, one female DB9 connector to support “daisy chain” connections. The CAN (Controller Area Network) is an ISO standard (ISO11898) for a serial communication network. Table 4.5 describes the pin functions. Pins 1, 4, 8, and 9 are not used. The CANbus is used for communications in multichannel operation or current sharing (master/slave) operation, and is part of the optional GPIB/CANbus interface card.

Select the "Multichnl Cfg" menu. Press ENTER. 3. When prompted with "Addr" enter a unique network address in the range 1–50. Press ENTER To receive and execute commands: 1. Select the "REMOTE SELECT" menu, then select "Multichannel" from the list. Press ENTER. SCPI Set a slave's multichannel address using the command: SYSTem:COMMunicate:MCHannel:ADDRess <multichannel-address> where multichannel-address is an integer in the range of 1-50, and the command is sent via a controller directly connected to the slave’s RS-232 port. If the unit is to execute commands, set the power supply to accept control via multichannel commands (the CANbus interface) with the SCPI command: SYSTem:REMote:SOURce MCHannel Setup 1. Connect power supplies to be controlled via the CANbus network. Parallel male DB9 to female DB9 cables (N-1) are required. Connect the power supplies in series, linking the first power supply to the second using one cable, and then the second to the third using a second cable and the second CAN port. A single ribbon cable with multiple connectors may be used instead of several cables for ease of connection. Terminate the bus at both ends with 120 ohm, 1/4 Watt resistors (included) across the CAN HI and CAN LO signals (Pins 2 and 7).

Commands Triggering provides a method to control changes in the power supply’s output and to program several power supplies to react at the same time. Triggering is useful in manufacturing processes where power requirements change as the machinery performs different operations. CAUTION Setpoint limits do not apply to triggered setpoints. ! To program triggers: 1. Configure the desired output levels as a result of a trigger. VOLTage:TRIGgered {<voltage>|MAX|MIN|DEF} CURRent:TRIGgered {<current>|MAX|MIN|DEF} POWer:TRIGgered {<power>|MAX|MIN|DEF} The user can choose to set all or any one of voltage, current, and power triggered levels. DEF (DEFault) means that when a trigger is received, no change will occur. 2. Specify a trigger signal source. TRIGger:SOURce {BUS|EXT|IMM|NONE} Where: • • • • BUS means the trigger source is the IEEE 488.1 GET or “*TRG” EXT means the source is the external trigger line IMM means the trigger source is the SCPI command INIT:IMM NONE means triggering is disabled.

The steps are either programmed to run for a predetermined length of time or are programmed to pause and wait for a trigger. ! CAUTION Setpoint limits do not apply to auto sequence programmed setpoints. Programmed sequences can run one time only, or repeatedly up to 9999 times or infinitely. You can store up to 10 sequences of 99 steps each.

Define the name of the program to be selected. If <sequence_number> already exists, then that existing program is selected. If the program name does not exist, then the new name is selected, but no program is defined by this selection. Editing the Sequence To edit an existing step or to program new steps, use the following commands: PROG:STEP<step_number>[:EDIT] [[[[[<voltage>] ,<current>],<power>],<OVP_level>],{<time>|TRIG}] Any of the step parameters may be omitted, in which case the default parameters will be used. The defaults are 0 V, 0 A, 0 W, 0 V, 10 ms. To insert a step between commands in an existing program, use this command: PROG:STEP<step_number>:INS <voltage> ,<current>,<power>,<OVP_level>,{<time>|TRIG} The step number is where the inserted step is to be located. The existing step and all following steps at that location are moved down. In both the edit and insert commands: • • • <step_number> ranges from 1 to 99. <time> defines the duration of the step and must be entered in the format milliseconds. It ranges from 10ms to 99 hours. TRIG may be entered instead of a step duration. In this case, the unit will hold the output levels at that step until a trigger signal is supplied. Setting Sequence Repetitions PROG:REP {ONCE |<sequence_count>|FOR|INF} • • • 138 ONCE will run the sequence once and return it to its STOP condition. <sequence_count> ranges from 1 to 9999.

The maximum slew rate is 1% V rating/150us. The slew rate is saved upon power off and restored at power on. Output ON/OFF and shutdown are not affected by the programmable slew rate. These functions have a slew rate of 1%/20ms. For more information on setting slew rates, see “Slew Rate” on page 102. The SCPI commands for changing the voltage slew rate are: :VOLT:SLEW:STEP {<slewrate-voltage> | MAX | MIN | DEF} where voltage-step has the units V, mV, etc. and the range is 0.1% to 5% of rated voltage. default step is 0.1% of rated output voltage. :VOLT:SLEW:INTerval {<slewrate-interval> | MAX | MIN | DEF} where time interval has the units s, ms, or us and the range is 150 us to 1.5s default interval is 150us. ! CAUTION Check both the voltage step and the interval to ensure you get the required slew rate. The combination must not exceed 1% V rating/150us. Though the software will attempt to achieve higher slew rates, it is limited to this value by hardware constraints. Manufacturer's recommendation is to keep the slew rate at or below the default value. Example: Set a slew rate of 100V/10s for a 100V-60A power supply. This slew rate is 1V/0.1s, which is within the acceptable range. Send the commands: ":VOLT:SLEW:STEP 1", and ":VOLT:SLEW:INT 100ms" Release 3.0 Artisan Technology Group - Quality Instrumentation ...

See “Status Register Commands” on page 157 for commands to read or change their values. Condition Register Transitions of the condition register are automatic and reflect the condition of the instrument at the moment. Reading a condition register has no effect on the contents. Event Register The event register bits are set automatically to correspond with changes in the condition register. The rules are dependent on the positive and negative transition registers.

Setting both positive and negative filters to TRUE allows an event to be reported any time the condition changes. Clearing both filters disables event reporting. The contents of transition filters are unchanged by *CLS and *RST. The status registers maybe be divided into 4 categories, the operation status registers, the questionable status registers, the standard event status register and the status byte.

Commands SCPI Status Commands Preset Status Configures the status data structures to ensure that certain events are reported at a higher level through the status-reporting mechanism. These events are summarized in the mandatory structures, the Operation Status Register, and Questionable Status Register. The PRESet command affects only the enable registers and the transition filter registers of the status data structures. PRESet does not clear any of the event registers or any item from the error/event queue. The *CLS command is used to clear all event registers and queues in the device status-reporting mechanism. For the device-dependent status data structures, the PRESet command sets the enable register to all 1s and the transition filter register to report only positive transitions. For the SCPI mandatory status data structures, the PRESet command sets the transition filter registers to recognize only positive transitions and sets the enable register to 0s. The following will not be affected by this command: Service Request Enable Register, Parallel Poll Enable Register, the memory register associated with the *SAV command, the power supply address, Output Queue, and the power-on-status-clear flag setting.

Command: *CLS SCPI equivalent for multichannel use: STATus[<channel>]:CLEar Standard Event Status Enable Register The Event Summary Enable command determines which bits in the Standard Event Status Register are summarized in the Event Summary Bit (ESB) of the Status Byte. The Power-on Status Clear command determines if the Standard Event Status Enable Register is cleared at power-on. E.g. Sending "*ESE 16" sets bit 4 of the Standard Event Status Enable Register. This will cause the Event Summary bit (ESB) in the Status Byte to be set whenever the Execution Error bit (bit 4) in the Standard Event Status Register gets set. Command: *ESE <status-enable>, *ESE? SCPI equivalent for multichannel use: STATus[<channel>]:STANdard:ENABle <status-enable> STATus[<channel>]:STANdard:ENABle?

Guaranteed | (888) 88-SOURCE | www.artisantg.com Remote Operation SCPI Commands for Digital Interfaces Service Request Enable Register The Service Request Enable Register allows the user to select the reasons for the power supply to issue a service request. The Service Request Enable Register allows the user to select which summary messages in the Status Byte Register may cause service requests. To clear the Service Request Enable Register send "*SRE 0." The Power-on Status Clear command also determines if the Service Request Enable Register is cleared at power-on. A cleared register does not allow status information to generate a service request. E.g. Sending "*SRE 8" sets bit 3 of the Service Request Enable Register. This will cause the Summary bit of the Questionable Status register (bit 3) in the Status Byte to generate a service request message whenever it gets set. Command: *SRE <Service-Request-Enable>, *SRE? SCPI equivalent for multichannel use: STATus[<channel>]:SREQuest:ENABle <status-enable> STATus[<channel>]:SREQuest:ENABle? Parallel Poll Enable Register Each of the 16 bits in the Parallel Poll Enable register correspond to bits in the Status Byte. Each bit in the Parallel Poll Enable register is ANDed with its corresponding bit in the Status Byte and the resulting bits are ORed together to generate ist. Therefore using the parallel poll enable register allows any single bit or combination of bits to control the ist message. The Power-on Status Clear command determines if the Parallel Poll Enable Register is cleared at power-on. E.g. Sending "*PRE 8" sets bit 3 of the Parallel Poll Enable Register. This will cause the Summary bit of the Questionable Status register (bit 3) in the Status Byte to generate a TRUE ist message whenever it gets set. Command: *PRE <status-enable>, *PRE?

Individual Status Query The individual status query allows the programmer to read the state of the IEEE 488.1 ist (individual status) message without performing a parallel poll. The query returns a "1" or "0." The ist message is formed by ANDing the bits in the Parallel Poll Enable Register (*PRE) with the Status Byte and then ORing the result. In other words, the ist is TRUE if any of bits of the Parallel Poll Enable Register AND'ed with the Status Byte are TRUE. Command: *IST?

Power supplies can be equipped with the optional CANbus interface to allow current sharing between units connected in parallel. Current sharing can use a maximum of 5 supplies. All power supplies must be the same model. Every unit must have a unique address. See “Multichannel Operation (6000 Watt only)” on page 113. Figure 5.1Connections for Current Share Operation Theory of Power supplies may be connected in parallel to supply a large current to a load. Operation Typically, because of differences in the load connections, each power supply may provide different amounts of current to the load. When multiple power supplies are configured for current sharing, the master supply will make minute changes to the slave’s voltage and current to equalize the current draw from each. The slaves will track the master's voltage, current, output and output on/off setting. Release 3.0 Artisan Technology Group - Quality Instrumentation ... Guaranteed | (888) 88-SOURCE | www.artisantg.com 173 Current Sharing (6000 Watt only) Overview Configure Current sharing may be configured either by SCPI commands sent via a remote Current interface or by using the Front Panel. The current sharing modes available are: Share • No sharing • Master: sets up the unit as the master controller. • Slave: sets up the unit as the controlled slave. Front Panel In addition to selecting the current share mode, the master may be set up to display the summed current from all units.

Configure others to operate as slaves. 2. Power down the units. Connect the CAN ports of all paralleled units as you would for multichannel operation 3. Make load connections. It is recommended to keep load cables the same length if possible. See Figure 5.1. 4. Power up the master, then all slaves. 5. Set the voltage on the master, then enable the output.

Guaranteed | (888) 88-SOURCE | www.artisantg.com 175 Current Sharing (6000 Watt only) Operation Operation Once a current sharing network is setup, you may adjust the voltage setpoint on the master. The master will automatically adjust the setpoints of the slave units to equalize the current output of all units. You may also disable or enable the output of the master, automatically disabling or enabling the output of all slaves. You may use local or remote (RS-232, GPIB, multichannel or analog) control to operate the master. Slaves will be operating under remote control from the master and in local lockout. Hence, they will only respond to remote queries or the OUT ON/OFF key on the front panel. The default display will show a greek letter sigma before the readback current if the summed current output is being displayed. E.g. The display may read "60.00V Σ 500A". However, the setpoint displayed on the master is still the current limit for a single unit. The master or slave annunciators will light up to show that current share is operating properly. Power supplies may not enter calibration mode while current sharing, or enter current share operation while in calibration mode. Errors The slave annunciator will flash if it does not detect a master on the network. Check the cable and the master configuration. A master or slave will be disabled from current sharing (set to "No share") if: • • • there is more than one master connected to the CANbus, (Error +1811) there are more than 4 slaves, (Error +1822), or the model does not match that of the master, (Error +1822). In each of these cases, the current share mode will be set to “No share”. If a unit becomes disconnected due to a failure in communications, the master will queue error +1812, "Current Share Slave Lost" and the slave will queue error +1821, "Current Share Master Lost." The slave's output will be disabled, and the slave annunciator will flash.

If you purchased a 12000 W unit, please reference the accompanying addendum for the correct calibration procedures. Overview The calibration of the unit is software dependent; there are no potentiometers to adjust. Calibration may be performed via the front panel or SCPI commands. Front panel calibration is partially automated. The calibration points are set automatically and you will be prompted to enter the measurement data. There are 10 items that need to be calibrated. Output voltage and output current are mandatory. If you intend to use the analog programming interface, you must calibrate it as well. It needs to be calibrated in both the 0-5V and the 0-10V ranges. In each range, voltage programming, voltage readback, current programming and current readback need to be calibrated. All calibration data is taken at 10% and 90% of the rated outputs. The setting and readback accuracy of the power supply should be checked annually, and calibration done only if the unit is not operating within its specification. Note POWER is calculated from voltage and current readback. The OTP and AC off protection mechanisms are operational during calibration. All other protection mechanisms are disabled. Entering Calibration Mode ! CAUTION Calibration procedures should only be performed by qualified users. Failure to adhere to this warning may cause damage to the power supply, or pose a safety hazard for the user.

The default units of measure include: • • • • V (Volt – voltage) A (Ampere – current) W (Watt – power) S (seconds – time) The supported optional multipliers include: • • m (milli) k (kilo) Note The SI standard for these multipliers is specifically lowercase, while the IEEE standard specifies uppercase. Both combinations are supported. SCPI Command Hierarchy SCPI is an ASCII-based command language designed for use in high-technology test and measurement equipment. The command structure is organized around common roots, or nodes, which are the building blocks of SCPI subsystems. An example of a common root is CALibration, and some of the commands that reside in the CALibration subsystem are shown below. CALibration :CURRent [:DATA] <numeric value> :LEVel {MIN|MAX} [:SECure] :CODE <new code> :STATe {OFF|ON}, <code> :STATe? CALibration is the root keyword of the command. CURRent and SECure are second-level keywords, and DATA, LEVel, CODE, and STATe, are third-level keywords. A colon (:) is used to separate a command keyword from a lower-level keyword. 194 Operating Manual for XDC Series Power Supply Artisan Technology Group - Quality Instrumentation ... Guaranteed | (888) 88-SOURCE | www.artisantg.com SCPI Command Reference Using SCPI Commands Using SCPI Commands Throughout these commands, the optional command [<channel>] is available for the 6000 W units, but not available for 12000 W power supplies. This manual shows SCPI commands in the following format: CALibration:CURRent:LEVel {<current>|MIN|MAX} The command is expressed as a mixture of upper- and lowercase letters. The uppercase letters suggest how the command can be abbreviated into a short form. SCPI commands can be sent in long or short forms. The short form is better for data entry. The long form is better for readability. Command strings are not case sensitive: CURR, Curr, and curr are all acceptable abbreviations for CURRent. As for the long form, CURRENT, Current, and current are all acceptable. The command strings include punctuation. While some punctuation is sent with the string, other markings are used to identify different elements of the command syntax and are not sent with the string. The following punctuation is sent with the command string: • • • • Colons (:) separate command keywords from lower-level keywords. For example, CAL:CURR:STAT. Blank spaces separate command keywords from parameter values. For example, CURR 0.1. Commas separate parameters from each other when more than one parameter is sent in the same string. For example, CAL:STAT OFF,”1234.” Semicolons (;) separate multiple commands from the same subsystem. This allows for greater efficiency. For example: CAL:CURR:LEV MIN;VOLT:LEV MIN is the same as typing: CAL:CURR:LEV MIN CAL:VOLT:LEV MIN • Colons and semicolons can be used together to link commands from different subsystems. For example: CAL:CURR:LEV MIN;:MEAS:CURR? The following punctuation is not sent with the command string: • • Braces ( { } ) identify a selection of choices. Choose one of the enclosed values. Vertical bars, or pipes, ( | ) separate the choices found within the braces. Release 3.0 Artisan Technology Group - Quality Instrumentation ... Guaranteed | (888) 88-SOURCE | www.artisantg.com 195 SCPI Command Reference Using SCPI Commands • • Angle brackets ( < > ) identify where specific values must be entered for a parameter. For example, in the example at the top of the page, the parameter <current> appears in the command string. To set the current setpoint to 0.1A, the syntax is CAL:CURR:LEV 0.1. Square brackets ( [ ] ) identify optional parameters. If an optional parameter is not sent with the command string, a default parameter is sent in its place. Using In the following example, Minimum and Maximum are offered as alternative choices Minimum and to declaring a specific parameter value. Maximum CAL:CURRent:LEVel {<current>|MIN|MAX} The string CAL:CURR:LEV MIN sets the current calibration level to the minimum model value. Using A question mark lets you query the present value for most parameters. For example, Queries to query the current calibration state use: CAL:SEC:STAT? You can also use the following to query minimum and maximum allowed values for most parameters: :VOLT? MIN :VOLT? MAX Note If you send 2 queries, it is best to read and respond to the first response before trying to read the second. Otherwise, you may receive an incomplete first response followed by a complete second response. To avoid this, you can either wait for and read the first response before sending the second query, or send a device clear message before sending the second query. Terminating Every command string must end with a terminating <new line> character. An Characters IEEE-488 EOI (end-or-identify) can be used instead of a <new line> character. It is also acceptable to use a <carriage return> followed by a <new line>. Terminating a command string always resets the SCPI command path to the root level. Common The IEEE-488.2 standard includes a set of common commands for functions such as Commands reset and self-test. These common commands always start with an asterisk (*), contain 4 or 5 characters, and may have one or more parameters. The command is always separated from the parameter by a blank space. Multiple commands sent in the same string are separated by a semi-colon (;). The following is an example of how 3 common commands can be sent together in the same string: *OPC; *PSC Off; *TRG 196 Operating Manual for XDC Series Power Supply Artisan Technology Group - Quality Instrumentation ... Guaranteed | (888) 88-SOURCE | www.artisantg.com SCPI Command Reference Parameter Types Parameter Types Several different data types are defined for use in program messages and response messages. Boolean Boolean parameters are single binary conditions such as 1 and 0, or ON and OFF. Parameters The following is an example of a command that uses Boolean parameters: SYST:COMM:GPIB:PONS {ON|OFF|1|0} Discrete Discrete parameters are used when program settings have a limited number of Parameters values. If you query a discrete parameter, the response will always be in the short form with all uppercase letters. The following is an example of a command that uses discrete parameters: TRIG:SOUR {BUS|EXT|IMM|NONE} Numeric Numeric parameters are number representations such as decimal points, optional Parameters signs, and scientific notation. Values such as MINimum and MAXimum are accepted as substitutes for numbers. When DEFault is provided as a parameter, the machine selects the default value automatically. You can also use engineering unit suffixes such as, V, A, or W with numeric parameters. In cases where specific numeric values are accepted, the power unit will round the input parameters. The following is an example of a command that uses numeric parameters: VOLT:PROT {<voltage>|MAX|MIN} String String parameters are used when a series of ASCII characters is required. Strings Parameters must be enclosed within single or double quotations. The beginning and ending quotation marks must be matching. Quote delimiters may be included in the string by typing the quotation marks twice without any characters in between.
