Table B.15Legacy Commands

Notes:

All legacy commands that change a value conform to the same rules as SCPI. Commands will cause an error if the unit’s remote
source, remote state, current share mode status and calibration status is incorrect.

Legacy commands do not have multichannel capabilities.

Query commands return a string containing the command itself.

The “CLR” command does not clear any legacy fault registers.

The “RST” command only clears the protections so that the voltage and setpoints can take effect. It does not change any setpoint
values. When a protection is tripped the unit’s output may be turned off (configurable).
