SCPI SUBSYSTEM COMMAND/QUERY STRUCTURE

Subsystem commands/queries are related to specific electronic load functions (such as setting
voltage, current limit, etc.) Figure 3-3 is a tree diagram illustrating the structure of SCPI subsys-
tem commands used in the EL Series Electronic Load with the “root” at the left side, and specific
commands forming the branches. The following paragraphs introduce the subsystems; subsys-
tem commands are defined and explained in Appendix B.

3.13.3.1 CALIBRATION SUBSYSTEM

This subsystem is used for calibration and for LAN addressing.

3.13.3.2 DEBUG SUBSYSTEM

This subsystem is used to print the SCPI command set or set echo on or off.
