3.4.1 Command Syntax
Remote operation of the PS300 series is through a simple command
language documented in this chapter. Both set and query forms of
most commands are supported, allowing the user complete control
of the instrument from a remote computer. Both RS-232 and GPIB
(IEEE488.2) interfaces are supported.
The se ings for the RS-232 interface are 9600 baud and no parity.
The default GPIB address is 14. The complete instrument con
fi
gu-
ration is retained in non-volatile memory.
When appropriate, the default value for parameters is listed in
boldface
in the command descriptions.
The PS300 series stores incoming bytes in a 128 character input
bu
ff
er. Characters accumulate in the input bu
ff
er until a command
terminator (either
<
CR
>
or
<
LF
>
) is received, at which point the mes-
sage is parsed and executed. Query responses are bu
ff
ered in a 128
character output queue.
If the input bu
ff
er over
fl
ows, then all data in
both
the input bu
ff
er
and output queue are discarded, and an error is reported in the
Standard Event Status Byte.
This section provides syntax and operational descriptions for re-
mote commands.
The four le er mnemonic (shown in CAPS) in each command se-
quence speci
fi
es the command. The rest of the sequence consists of
parameters.
Commands may take either
set
or
query
form, depending on wheth-
er the “?” character follows the mnemonic.
Set only
commands are
listed without the “?”,
query only
commands show the “?” a er the
mnemonic, and
optionally query commands
are marked with a “(?)”.
Parameters shown in { } and [ ] are not always required. Parameters
in { } are required to set a value, and should be omi ed for queries.
