This query returns the SCPI version number to which the AC/DC source complies. The
returned value is of the form YYYY.V, where YYYY represents the year and V is the revision
number for that year.
Query Syntax
SYSTem:VERSion?
Parameters None
Returned Paramters
Example SYST:VERS?
SYSTem:HISTory[:RECords]? LAST|
This command is only available for the RS270 base system.
This query returns the history record number for the last error if the query parameter is
LAST. The query command can be send again with record number to retrieve the fault data
for this record and any record prior to the last record. The record format is a commas
separated data as follows:
Record
number,
integer
Model,
string
Elapse time hours, minutes, and seconds,
integer
Regenerative state, external oscillator reference,
integer
Set Voltage A, Set Current A, Set regenerative Current A,
float
Measure Voltage A, Measure current A, Measure power A,
float
Set Voltage B, Set Current B, Set regenerative Current B,
float
Measure Voltage B, Measure current B, Measure power B,
float
Set Voltage C, Set Current C, Set regenerative Current C,
