Automated calibration software programs written for the iL/HP Series will have to be modified to
work with an Lx Series power source.

Diagnostic Subsystem

The iL/HP diagnostic subsystem is closely related to the old controller hardware. There is no
equivalent for most of the DIAGnostic commands on the Lx controller but no errors will be
generated. Instead, the Lx will treat most of these commands as a NOP.

Display Subsystem

The Display subsystem is supported on the Lx Series with firmware revision 1.20 or higher only.
Note that both units have different types of displays. The iL/HP has a 16 character single line
display, the Lx a 2x16 character line display. Existing programs written for the HP model using the
DISPLay subsystem will display all text on the first line only.

The Lx will accept both upper and low characters whereas the HP/iL unit only accepts upper case
characters.

Attempts to send DISPLay commands on Lx models with firmware revision less than 1.20 will
result in Error

–113, “Undefined Header” errors.
