Operating Manual for GPIB for XT/HPD Series Power Supply
Command
Strings
If you send more than one command line, separate the commands with a semicolon.
The semicolon may be preceded or followed by spaces.
Example:
Command
Terminators
Terminators indicate the end of a command string and tell the power supply to
execute the command. The termination character is LF (Line Feed).
Format:
COMMAND1
Most computer controllers automatically send LF with output statements.
You may also terminate commands by asserting EOI on the GPIB concurrently with
the last byte of the command.
Example:
All data sent by the power supply to the computer controller is terminated by a
carriage return and a line feed character. EOI is asserted concurrently with a linefeed.
Example:
Order
You may send commands in any order, keeping in mind that only those commands
received after a HOLD and before a TRG (trigger) will be released by the TRG
command. In addition, only these commands received after a supply disable and
before a RST (reset) or OUT ON command will be released by the RST command
or the OUT command. Commands are executed in the order they are received.
