IEEE 488.2 and SCPI Command Operation

Sorensen SF Series

Command Description

SCPI

Q?

:PROTection

C

:CONDition?

Returns the integer value of the Protection
Condition Register. Used to read the status
of the power hardware. See section 3.2.3
for a detailed table of the various bits that
make up this register.

C

:ENABle <0+NR1>

Sets the enable mask of the Protection
Event Register which allows true conditions
to be reported in the summary bit of the
Protection Condition Register.

C Q

:EVENt?

Returns the integer value of the Protection
Event Register.

C

:SELEct <0+NR1>

This command provides a means for
selecting which fault bits from the protection
event register (also called the fault register
and readable using the STAT:PROT:EVEN?
command) are able to set the protection
event flag bit in the SCPI status byte
(readable using the *STB? command). It
defaults to value 255 at power-on time, and
never changes unless intentionally
programmed to a new value.

N

:SELEct?

Queries the last selection value
programmed.

N

:QUEStionable

C

:CONDition?

Returns the integer value of the
Questionable Condition Register. The
query is supported but will always return “0”
indicating operational condition.

C

:ENABle <0+NR1>

Sets the enable mask of the Questionable
Event Register allowing true conditions to
be reported in the summary bit of the
Questionable Condition Register. Values
are written and queried but have no effect
on the Questionable Condition Register.

C Q

:EVENt?

Returns the integer value of the
Questionable Event Register. This query is
supported but always returns a value of “0”,
indicating operational condition.
