10.8 System Commands

The system commands control the system level functions of the AC Source.

Subsystem Syntax

SYSTem:

ERRor?

Returns the error number and error string

KLOCk

Keyboard Lock. Sets the power on REMOTE/LOCAL state.

LOCal

Go to local mode

PON

Define the power on register number

REMote

Go to remote mode

SAVE

Saves calibration coefficients if calibration state is on

SYSTem:ERRor?

This query returns the next error number followed by its corresponding error message string
from the remote programming error queue. The queue is a FIFO (first-in, first-out) buffer that
stores errors as they occur. As it is read, each error is removed from the queue. When all
errors have been read, the query returns 0,”No Error”. If more errors are accumulated than
the queue can hold, the last error in the queue is -350,”Queue overflow”.

Query Syntax

SYSTem:ERRor?

Parameters

None

Returned Parameters

,

Example

SYST:ERR?

SYSTem:KLOCk

This command sets or clears the power on LOCAL or REMOTE state. When set (1), the AC
Source will power up in remote state, locking out all keyboard controls. The local state can
only be entered by sending a bus command. This mode may be used to prevent operator
access to front panel controls under all conditions. Note that changing the state of the KLOC
setting does not change the REMOTE or LOCAL state. This setting only affects the
REMOTE/LOCAL state at power-up.

Command Syntax

SYSTem:KLOCk

Parameters

0 | 1

Example

SYST:KLOC 1

Query Syntax

SYST:KLOC?

Returned Parameters

Related Commands

SYST:REM

SYST:LOC

SYSTem:LOCal

This command sets the interface in Local state, which enables the front panel controls. This
command only applies to the RS232C interface. If IEEE 488 is used, the remote/local state
is determined by the REN line on the IEEE 488 interface.

Command Syntax

SYSTem:LOCal

Parameters

None

Example

SYST:LOC
