Query syntax: *STB?
Parameter: None
Returned parameter:
*TRG
When power supply trigger source is a command from via BUS, this command will give a trigger
signal. And its function is the same as “TRIGger” command.
Query syntax: *TRG
Parameter: None
Returned parameter: None
*SAV
This command can save the current setups of power supply to specified memory. These setups
contain current setups, voltage setups, max voltage set, min voltage set, OVP set, OVP timer,
OPP set, voltage rise and fall time, analog interface and series/parallel setting.
The memory is divided into 10 groups, each contain 0~9 (10 total) setups. Up to 100 setups can
be saved in total.
Command syntax: *SAV
Parameter: 0~9
*RCL
This command can recall the setups you saved previously from the specified memory location.
Command syntax: *RCL
Parameter: 0~9
2.2 STATUS Subsystem
You can get the current status of the power supply by reading the operation status registers. The
power supply records the different status of the instrument through the four status register
group. The four status register groups are: status byte register, standard event register, query
status register and operation status register. Status byte register records the information of the
other status registers.
