B.45 SYSTem:COMMunication:SERial:BAUD COMMAND
SYST:COMM:SER:BAUD
Syntax: Short Form: SYST:COMM:SER:BAUD {19200 | 9600 | 4800 | 2400}
Long Form: SYSTem:COMMunication:SERial:BAUD {19200 | 9600 | 4800 | 2400}
Description: Sets the unit to operate at the specified baud rate.
B.46 SYSTem:COMMunication:SERial:ECHO COMMAND

Syntax: Short Form: SYST:COMM:SER:ECHO {ON | OFF}
Long Form: SYSTem:COMMunication:SERial:ECHO {ON | OFF}
Description: Enables (ON) or disables (OFF) echo mode (see PAR. 3.3.3.2) Sending ON causes all subsequent
characters to be echoed back. Sending OFF turns off the character echo after the nest line terminator
character. The *RST command has no effect on echo status
B.47 SYSTem:COMMunication:SERial:PACE COMMAND
SYST:COMM:SER:PACE
Syntax: Short Form: SYST:COMM:SER:PACE {NONE | XON}
Long Form: SYSTem:COMMunication:SERial:PACE {NONE | XON}
Description: Enables (XON) or disables (NONE) data flow control via the serial interface (see PAR. 3.3.3.4)
B.48 SYSTem:COMMunication:SERial::PROMpt COMMAND
SYST:COMM:SER:PROM
Syntax: Short Form: SYST:COMM:SER:PROM {ON | OFF}
Long Form: SYSTem:COMMunication:SERial:PROMpt {ON | OFF}
Description: Enables (ON) or disables (OFF) prompt (see PAR. 3.3.3.3). Sending ON causes the unit to return >
character after the command is parsed.
B.49 SYSTem:ERRor[:NEXT]? QUERY
SYST:ERR?
Syntax: Short Form: SYST:ERR[:NEXT]? Long Form: SYSTem:ERRor[:NEXT]?
Return Value:
Description: Posts error messages to the output queue. Returns the next error number followed by its corre-
sponding error message string from the instrument error queue. The error queue is a FIFO (first in first
out) buffer that stores errors as they occur. As it is read, each error is removed from the queue and the
next error message is made available. When all errors have been read, the query returns 0,"No error".
If more than 15 errors are accumulated, it will overflow. The oldest errors stay in the queue but the
most recent errors are discarded. The last error in the queue will be -350,"Too many errors." Error
messages are defined in Table B-7.
B.50 SYSTem:ERRor:CODE? QUERY
SYST:ERR:CODE?
Syntax: Short Form: SYST:ERR:CODE?] Long Form: SYSTem:ERRor:CODE?
Description: Returns the three character error code without the ASCII definition string. The error codes are defined
in table B-7 (See example, Figure B-3.)
B.51 SYSTem:ERRor:CODE:ALL? QUERY
SYST:ERR:CODE:ALL?
Syntax: Short Form: SYST:ERR:CODE:ALL?] Long Form: SYSTem:ERRor:CODE:ALL?
Return Value:
Description: Returns a comma-separated list of all error codes. A maximum of 15 codes will be returned; if the
queue is empty, the power supply returns 0. The error codes are defined in table B-7
B.52 SYSTem:LANGuage COMMAND
SYST:LANG
Syntax: Short Form: SYST:LANG CIIL Long Form: SYSTem:LANGuage CIIL
Description: This command allows the CIIL command language to be used to program the power supply.
(CIIL is included to provide compatibility with earlier Kepco equipment.) Once CIIL is selected, the CIIL
command ‘GAL’ followed by the command ‘SCPI’ must be sent for the power supply to respond to
SCPI commands.
