KLP-VISA 010906
LIST Program Run Status KpKlp_Prog_Stat Status of LIST program (running or stopped)
Relay Mode KpKlp_GetRelayMode Gets operating mode of instrument relay. 0 = Factory, 1 = Manual,
2 = List Program
Relay Status KpKlp_GetRelayStatus Gets on/off status of instrument relay.
Set Relay Status KpKlp_SetRelayStatus Sets relay on (energized) or off (de-energized) if Relay Mode is set to
Manual (1).
Set Value KpKlp_SetValue Sets the output voltage, the output current of the power supply,
depending on the slide selection position. The values are checked
against the maximum acceptable values for the corresponding power
supply.
Get Value KpKlp_GetValue Gets the output voltage, the output current of the power supply
depending on slide selection position.
Trigger KpKlp_Trig Triggers the instrument once. The output will go to the trigger voltage
and current values.
Measure Current and
Voltage Output Values KpKlp_MeasVoltCurr Measures the values of output (voltage and current).
Get Source Mode KpKlp_GetSourceMode Gets the operating mode of the power supply.
Output On/Off KpKlp_OutputOnOff Sets the output on or off.
Get Output Status KpKlp_getOutputState Returns the output status (on or off).
UTILITY FUNCTIONS — This class of functions provides lower level functions to communicate with the instrument and to change
instrument parameters.
Revision Query KpKlp_RevisionQuery Returns the revision numbers of the instrument driver and instrument
firmware version from the *idn? query. This instrument driver's Revi-
sion Number is "Rev 1.0, 9/99, CVI 5.1" and the KLP firmware version
is Firmware Version "1.0". This data is necessary when requesting
technical support.
Model Query KpKlp_ModelQuery Return the model number of the KLP power supply.
Serial Number Query KpKlp_SerialnQuery Returns the serial number of the KLP power supply. The serial num-
ber is extracted from the answer to the *idn? query.
Query SCPI Version KpKlp_GetScpiVersion Returns the power supply answer to the Query SCPI Version com-
mand. Checks the Standard Commands for Programmable Instru-
ments (SCPI) language version.
Self-Test KpKlp_selfTest Runs the instrument's self test routine and returns the test result(s).
Error-Query KpKlp_errorQuery Reads an error code from the instrument's error queue.
Error Message KpKlp_errorMessage Takes the Status Code returned by the instrument driver functions,
interprets it and returns it as a user readable string.
Calibration Status On/Off KpKlp_CalStatus Used to enter or exit the calibration state. To enter the calibration state
a 4-character numeric password is required. When the instrument is
shipped from the factory the calibration password is as defined in
Table 2. The password protects the instrument against unauthorized
calibrations.
Calibration Mode KpKlp_CalMode Allows the user to select the calibration mode (either voltage, current
or external analog calibration) and also allows selection of 0 (min), full
scale (max), or external readback calibration.
Calibration Zero KpKlp_CalZero Used to zero the output of the power supply before switching from
voltage calibration to current calibration (to allow a calibration resistor
to be connected between the power supply output terminals.
Calibration Save KpKlp_CalSave Stores the calibration results in the nonvolatile calibration memory of
the instrument as well as the date included with the Save command.
