SCPI Command Introduction
All the protocol down programming data and up return data are presents by ASCII character string. A frame data ended by new line separator (0x0A) or carraige return (0x0D). The protocol supports the data format as following,

  1. ,integer, for example 123.
  2. ,a number containing a decimal point, for example 1.234.
  3. ,number express by scientific notation method, for example 1.23E+2.
  4. ,extension format,including , , , for example 123, 0.123, 1.23E2.
  5. <Nrf+>,including ,MIN,MAX, for example 123, 0.123, 1.23E2, MIN, MAX. MIN presents the minimum that can be set for load; MAX presents the minimum that can be set for load.

  6. ,for example 0 | 1 or ON | OFF.

Data unit should follow data, if the unit is the default unit in the follow table, then the unit can be ignore.

Data Type Default Unit Support Unit
Voltage V mV
Current A mA
Power W mW
Resistance ohm K
Current rate of change A/mS A/uS
Voltage rate of change V/mS V/uS
Time mS S

There are some mnemonic symbols in SCPI command expression. These mnemonic symbols only express the meaning as the following table, it is not the actual contains in SCPI command.

Mnemonic Symbol Meaning

Register Description
The protocol supporys four groups register,
1)Questionable Status Register Group
Questionable status register has three of 16bits register; it divided into status register, event register and enable register. When the corresponding bit of status register is changed, the corresponding bit of the event register will be set; if the corresponding bit of enable register is set, it produces an event (QUES set of status byte register.) After performing a read operation of event register, even register will go to zero. The definition of status register as following,

Bit Name Meaning
Bit0 VF
Bit1 OC The load is on over-current protection
Bit3 OP The load is on over-power protection
Bit4 OT The load is on over-heat protection
Bit8 RRV Remote terminal input reverse polarity
Bit11 UNR
Bit12 LRV Local terminal input reverse polarity
Bit13 OV The load is in over-voltage protection

2. Standard Event Status Register Group
Standard event status register has two of 16 bits register; it divided into event register and enable register. If the corresponding bit of enable register is set, it produces an event (ESB set of status byte register.) After performing a read operation of event register, even register will go to zero. The definition of event register as following.

Bit Name Meaning Bit Proportion Answer-back Code
Bit0 OPC Operation complete 1 “OK! OPC,1”
Bit1 DTE Data error 2 “Failed! DTE,2”
Bit2 QYE Query error 4 “Failed! QYE,4”
Bit3 DDE Device failure 8 “Failed! DDE,8”
Bit4 EXE Execution error 16 “Failed! EXE,16”
Bit5 CME Command error 32 “Failed! CME,32”
Bit6 STE Status error 64 “Failed! STE,64”
Bit7 PON Load recharge 128 “Failed! PON,128”

3. Operation Status Register Group
Operation status register has three of 16bits register; it divided into status register, event register and enable register. When the corresponding bit of status register is changed, the corresponding bit of the event register will be set; if the corresponding bit of enable register is set, it produces an event (OPER set of status byte register.) After performing a read operation of event register, even register will go to zero. The definition of status register as following,

Bit

| Name|

Meaning

When the corresponding bit of event register is changed, it produces an event (RQS set of status byte register.) After performing a read operation of event register, even register will go to zero. The definition of event register as following,

Bit

| Name|

Meaning

---|---|---
Bit3| QUES| Set, if there is enable query status event
Bit4| MAV| Set, if the output queue has data

Notes:

  1. UTL8200/ UTL8500 series electronic load is communicated by serial port RS232 if no other specific description, serial port parameters:
    Baud rate: 4800bps/9600bps(Default)/19.2Kbps/38.4Kbps/57.6Kbps/115.2Kbps
    Data bit :8bits;
    Stop bit :1bit;
    Check bit: none;
    Flow control :none

  2. If electronic load has no data to respond when the upper computer send SCPI command, the shift message in standard event status register as the answer message to response, the detailed content see the register description.

  3. The short time interval can not less than 30ms between in two SCPI command when upper computer continuous to send.

  4. This protocol differs from the standard SCPI, UTL8200/ UTL8500 series electronic load support each command only operating one single data.

  5. This protocol includes the part of remote control operation, user can contact us to get other remoter operation. Our company can compile SCPI protocol as custom made.

In addition, we can implement real-time updates.
