These commands have to be transmitted as ASCII characters, they may be lower or upper key. Each command must use oDh
(Enter) at its end.

Listing of software commands
Text
Instrument identifi cation request
Request for the software version installed Response e.g.: version 1.01
Request for outputting all present instrument settings
functions:
WATT, VAR, VA, PF
voltage ranges:
U1 = 50 V, U2 = 150 V, U3 = 500 V
Current ranges:
I1 = 0,16 A, I2 = 1,6 A, I3 = 16 A
Request for outputting instrument settings and measurement results.
Example of VAr:
U3=225.6E+0 (225.6V in the 500 V range)
I2=0.243E+0 (0.243 A in the 1.6 A range)
VAR=23.3E+0 (Reactive power of 23.3 VAr)
"OF" indicates range overfl ow. In case the command was sent during a
measurement cycle the response will come after its completion.
Selective request for the parameters and the result of FUNCTION.
Example if PF was selected: U3, I2, PF= 0.87E+0.
Disabling of all front panel controls VOLT, AMPERE, FUNCTION
Enabling of all front panel controls VOLT, AMPERE, FUNCTION
Generates a single acoustic signal
Acoustic signal disabled
Acoustic signal enabled
Active power
Reactive power
Apparent power
Power factor PF
AUTORANGE- function voltage enabled
AUTORANGE- function current enabled
Continuous transmission of parameters and results to the PC
Example of PF selected: U3,I2,cos=0.87E+0
"OF" designates overfl ow. Transmission will be continued until ended by MA0.
Ends transmission started with MA1.
Disables autoranging resp. changes the voltage range to „x(Volt)"
Sets 50 V range
Sets 150 V range
Sets 500 V range
Disables autoranging resp. changes the current range to „x(Ampere)"
Sets 0.16 A range
Sets 1.6 A range
Sets 16 A range
