PROGRAM SCPI C OMMAND R EFERENCE
The letter “C” in the “SCPI” column means that the command syntax is SCPI compliant; an
“N” in the “SCPI” column means that the command syntax is not part of the SCPI definition.
Following this command reference table, are some annotated examples showing how to
create a sequence (program) in your power supply.
Command Description SCPI
PROGram Program subsystem C
:INITializing? This query returns 1 after mains power-on, and
continues to return 1 until the program/sequence
functionality is fully initialized, after which point 0 is
returned. Do not attempt to use any of the other
sequence related commands--i.e., commands in the
SCPI PROG command tree --while program/sequence
functionality is initializing. (Typical initialization time is
approx. 15 seconds after power-on.)
N
:CATalog? Lists all the defined sequence names. The format for
the response to the query is a list of comma-separated
test names.
C
:[SELected] Selected section of program subsystem C
:ARM Prepares the presently selected sequence for
execution; this command may take a few seconds
depending the length of the selected sequence and all
subsequences that the selected sequence may depend
upon. The command to use to execute an armed
sequence is
PROG:STAT RUN .
N
:ARM? A return of 1 means the sequence is armed.
A return of 0 means it is not.
N
:DEFine ,
VIMODE, , ,
, Programs the VIMODE sequence command into the
selected sequence (see PROG:SEL:NAME command) at
. The following values set by this command:
voltage , current , over voltage
protection , and duration of seconds.
may have a decimal value with a granularity of 0.001
seconds. This command is valid for steps 1 thru 20.
C
:DEFine ,
RAMPTOV,volts>,,
, , Programs the RAMPTOV sequence command into the
selected sequence at . The following values
are programmed: starting and ending voltage ramp
values and , current ,
over voltage protection value ,and voltage
ramping duration in seconds. may have a
decimal value with a granularity of 0.001 seconds. This
command is valid for steps 1 thru 20.
