5 SCPI Programming Reference
Compatibility Commands
This section describes the compatibility of the Keysight RPS7900-series with existing Keysight N7900-
series Advanced Power Systems (APS). Because of their feature sets, only programs written for the
N7900 Advanced Power Systems are compatible with the Regenerative Power System (RPS) models.
Note that not all features are common to both families.
