A.9

*OPT? — OPTIONS QUERY

*OPT?

Syntax:

*OPT?
Returns string determined by power supply model.

Description: Causes the power supply to return an ASCII string which defines the functionality of the power

supply. The functionality is defined as follows:

A.10

*RCL — RECALL COMMAND

*RCL

Syntax:

*RCL (1 to 40)

Description: Restores power supply to previously defined levels of output voltage, output current, overvolt-

age protection, and overcurrent protection.This command selects one of the 40 power supply
memory locations, each of which stores values for output current, output voltage, overvoltage protec-
tion, and overcurrent protection. The following parameters are affected by *RCL: CURR[:LEV][:IMM]
VOLT[:LEV][:IMM] CURR:PROT[:LEV] VOLT:PROT[:LEV]. The recall function also sets the unit
to operating parameters to SCPI compatible mode, or device clear operation and output on or off. If
the recall value was not initialized by the *SAV command, but from an edit save or front panel save,
the output condition will remain unchanged along with the language preferences. (See example, Fig-
ure A-1.)

A.11

*RST — RESET COMMAND

*RST

Syntax:

*RST

Description: Resets power supply to the power on default state. The power supply is programmed to the power

on values of the following parameters: CURR[:LEV][:IMM] = 0, VOLT[:LEV][:IMM] = 0,
CURR:PROT[:LEV] = max overcurrent value (see Table 1-2, VOLT:PROT[:LEV] = (maximum overvolt-
age value (see Table 1-2), OUTP[:STAT] = OFF. If the power supply is in either an overvoltage or over-
current state, this condition is reset by *RST. (See example, Figure A-1.)

A.12

* SAV — SAVE COMMAND

*SAV

Syntax:

*SAV (1 to 40)

Description: Saves the present state of output voltage, output current, overvoltage and overcurrent to the

specified memory location. This command stores the present state of the power supply to one of 40
memory locations. The following parameters are stored by *SAV: CURR[:LEV][:IMM],
VOLT[:LEV][:IMM], CURR:PROT[:LEV], and VOLT:PROT[:LEV]. The *SAV command also saves the
language status and output on/off state. The stored values can be restored by the *RCL command.
(See example, Figure A-1.)

STRING DATA

MEANING

CAL

Support for CALibrate command is present.

RL3

Hardware switch controlling remote/local is functional. Unit can be used to take measurements in local
mode, but all other functions require the unit to be in remote mode (REN must be asserted).

MEM

Indicates the number of memory steps supported.

DSM

Indicates the number of characters supported for user messages on LCD.

LST

Indicates LIST command is equivalent to *SAV.
