Command format used in this manual
The format used to show commands in this manual is shown below:
CURRent {<current>|MINimum|MAXimum|UP|DOWN}
The command syntax shows most commands (and some parameters) as a mixture of upper- case and lower- case
letters. The upper- case letters indicate the abbreviated spelling for the command. For shorter program lines, send
the abbreviated form. For better program readability, send the long form.
For example, in the above syntax statement, CURR and CURRENT are both acceptable forms. You can use upper-
case or lower- case letters. Therefore, CURRENT, curr, and Curr are all acceptable. Other forms, such as CUR and
CURREN, will generate an error.
Braces ({}) enclose the parameter choices for a given command string. The braces are not sent with the command
string.
A vertical bar (|) separates multiple parameter choices for a given command string.
Triangle brackets (<>) indicate that you must specify a value for the enclosed parameter. For example, the above
syntax statement shows the current parameter enclosed in triangle brackets. The brackets are not sent with the
command string. You must specify a value for the parameter (such as CURR 0.1).
Some parameters are enclosed in square brackets ([]). The brackets indicate that the parameter is optional and can
be omitted. The brackets are not sent with the command string. If you do not specify a value for an optional
parameter, the power supply chooses a default value.
A colon (:) separates a command keyword from a lower-level keyword. You must insert a blank space to separate a
parameter from a command keyword. If a command requires more than one parameter, you must separate adjacent
parameters using a comma as shown below:
