Safety Summary The beginning of the ac source User’s Guide has a Safety Summary page. Be sure you are familiar with the information on this page before programming the ac source from a controller. WARNING: ENERGY HAZARD. Ac sources can supply 425 V peak at their output. DEATH on contact may result if the output terminals or circuits connected to the output are touched when power is applied.

2 Introduction to Programming GPIB Capabilities of the AC Source All ac source functions except for setting the GPIB address are programmable over the GPIB. The IEEE 488.2 capabilities of the ac source are listed in the appendix A of the User’s Guide. GPIB Address The ac source operates from a GPIB address that is set from the front panel. To set the GPIB address, press the Address key on the front panel and enter the address using the Entry keys. RS-232 Capabilities of the AC Source The ac sour

2 - Introduction to Programming RS-232 Programming Example The following program illustrates how to program the ac source using RS-232 to set the output voltage and frequency and to read back the model number and output voltage. The program was written to run on any controller using Microsoft QBasic. NOTE: The ac source must be configured for RS232 and the same baud rate and parity as the controller. ‘ Program to write and read via RS232 ‘ Configure serial port for: ‘ 9600 baud ‘ 7 bit data ‘ 2

Introduction to Programming - 2 Introduction to SCPI SCPI (Standard Commands for Programmable Instruments) is a programming language for controlling instrument functions over the GPIB. SCPI is layered on top of the hardware-portion of IEEE 488.2. The same SCPI commands and parameters control the same functions in different classes of instruments. For example, you would use the same DISPlay command to control the ac source display and the display of a SCPI-compatible multimeter. Conventions Used

2 - Introduction to Programming The SCPI Command Tree As previously explained, the basic SCPI communication method involves sending one or more properly formatted commands from the SCPI command tree to the instrument as program messages. The following figure shows a portion of a subsystem command tree, from which you access the commands located along the various paths (you can see the complete tree in appendix A). ROOT :OUTPut [:STATe] :COUPling :DFI [:STATe] :SOURce :PROTection :CLEar :DELay :S

Introduction to Programming - 2 If you now enter :CLEar, you have reached the end of the command string. The active header path remains at :CLEar. If you wished, you could have entered :CLEar;DELay 20 and it would be accepted as a compound message consisting of: OUTPut:PROTection:CLEAr and OUTPut:PROTection:DELay 20. The entire message would be: OUTPut:PROTection:CLEar;DELay 20 The message terminator after DELay 20 returns the path to the root. The Effect of Optional Headers If a command includ

2 - Introduction to Programming Including Common Commands You can combine common commands with system commands in the same message. Treat the common command as a message unit by separating it with a semicolon (the message unit separator). Common commands do not affect the active header path; you may insert them anywhere in the message.
