SCPI COMMAND OPERATION

The SCPI command sets provide programming, query, and status commands
that facilitate remote control of the ReFlex Power™ system.

The system supports the SCPI 1999.0 status reporting data structures. These
structures are comprised of status registers and status register enable mask
pairs. The following sections describe these pairs.

2.7.1

RROR

/E

VENT

Q

UEUE

The Error/Event Queue, defined by SCPI holds up to ten error events. Issue
the

SYSTem:ERRor?

query to read the queue in a First In/First Out (FIFO)

manner. The read operation removes the entry from the queue. Issue the

*CLS

command to clear all entries from the queue.

The following SCPI-defined error codes are in the range of [-32768, 32767].
SCPI reserves the negative error codes and 0, while error codes greater than
0 are device-specific errors.
