Command

Description

SYSTem

System subsystem.

:ERRor?

Queries a 10 element Error Queue, for next error/event entry (first in, first out).
Entries contain an error number and descriptive text. A return value of 0 indicates
no error occurred; negative numbers are reserved by SCPI. The maximum return
string length is 255 characters. All entries are cleared by the *CLS command.

:VERsion?

Returns

the

SCPI

version

that

the

instrument

complies

with

.

:GROup

Group subsystem

:CATalog

Displays list of defined groups in the system.

:PARallel?

Returns the master address 1000+N1 followed by the modules N1,N2…Nn that
make up the parallel group.

:SERies?

Returns the master address 2000+N1 followed by the modules N1,N2…Nn that
make up the series group.

:DEFine

Creates a group of the specified type

:PARallel
,, …

Sets the modules to be paralleled. Because only like modules can be paralleled valid
inputs are <2>, <5>, <7>, etc. The lowest number in the argument list is the address
of the parallel-master module and the rest of the numbers are the address’s of the
parallel-slave modules. In a parallel configuration, only the Master module, 1002, will
process SCPI setpoint commands properly. The voltage and current set points for
the parallel group will be set to zero, normal polarity, and the output relays will be
open. For defaults, see CAL:INIT:xxxx commands.

:SERies
,, …

Sets the specified modules into the series group. Because only like modules can
be connected in series, valid inputs are <1002>, <1004>, etc. The lowest number
in the argument list is the module address of the series-master module and the
others are the address’s of the series-slave modules. In a series configuration,
only the Master module, 2002, will process SCPI setpoint commands properly. The
voltage and current set points for the parallel group will be set to zero, normal
polarity, and the output relays will open. For defaults, see CAL:INIT:xx commands.
