3.7.3.2

DISPLAY SUBSYSTEM

This subsystem is used to set and ascertain the brightness on the front panel Voltage and Cur-
rent displays.

3.7.3.3

FETCH SUBSYSTEM

This subsystem is used to measure and return both voltage and current measurements.

3.7.3.4

OUTPUT SUBSYSTEM

This subsystem is used to control whether the output is on or off, and whether the power supply
powers up with the output set to the reset state or to the last settings in effect when the unit was
powered off.

3.7.3.5

SOURCE SUBSYSTEM

This subsystem is used to program the output voltage and current of the power supply, associ-
ated protection levels and limits and output ramp up and down times. This subsystem is also
used to control the memory locations used to store power supply settings for later recall.

3.7.3.6

SYSTEM SUBSYSTEM

This subsystem is used to control the audible beep upon key presses, enabling/disabling the
front panel keys and reading of error codes and SCPI version.

3.7.4

UNDERSTANDING THE COMMAND STRUCTURE

Understanding the command structure requires an understanding of the subsystem command
tree illustrated in Figure 3-10. The “root” is located at the top left corner of the diagram. The
parser goes to the root if:

• a message terminator is recognized by the parser
• a root specifier is recognized by the parser

Starting at the root, there are various branches or paths corresponding to the subsystems. The
root keywords for the KLN 750W Power Supply are :CALibrate, :DISPlay, :FETCh, :OUTPut,
:SOURce and :SYSTem.
