SCPI Command Introduction
All the protocol down programming data and up return data are
presented by ASCII character strings. A frame data is ended by a
new line separator 0x0A or carriage return 0x0D. The protocol
supports the following data formats:
-
1integer, for example 123.
-
A number containing a decimal point, for example 1.234.
-
Number expressed by scientific notation method, for example
1.23E+2. -
Extension format including , , , for example 123, 0.123,
1.23E2. -
Format 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 maximum that can be set for load. -
For example 0 | 1 or ON | OFF.
Data unit should follow data. If the unit is the default unit in
the following table, then the unit can be ignored.

Register Description
Questionable Status Register Group
Questionable status register has three 16-bit registers; it is
divided into status register, event register, and enable register.
When the corresponding bit of the status register is changed, the
corresponding bit of the event register will be set. If the
corresponding bit of the enable register is set, it produces an
event (QUES set of status byte register.) After performing a read
operation of the event register, the even register will go to zero.
The definition of the status register is as follows:
| Bit Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Bit0 VF | The load is on over-current protection. |
| Bit1 OC | The load is on over-power protection. |
| Bit3 OP | The load is on over-heat protection. |
| Bit4 OT | Remote terminal input reverse polarity. |
| Bit8 RRV | Local terminal input reverse polarity. |
| Bit11 UNR | The load is in over-voltage protection. |
| Bit12 LRV | |
| Bit13 OV |
Standard Event Status Register Group
Standard event status register has two 16-bit registers; it is
divided into event register and enable register. If the
corresponding bit of the enable register is set, it produces an
event (ESB set of status byte register.) After performing a read
operation of the event register, the event register will go to
zero. The definition of the event register is as follows:

Register Description
The protocol supporys four groups register,
1Questionable 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 Bit0 VF Bit1 OC Bit3 OP Bit4 OT Bit8 RRV Bit11 UNR Bit12 LRV
Bit13 OV
Meaning
The load is on over-current protection The load is on over-power protection
The load is on over-heat protection Remote terminal input reverse polarity
Local terminal input reverse polarity The load is in over-voltage protection
2Standard 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,

3Operation 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,

Notes
1 UTL8200/ UTL8500 series electronic load is communicated by serial port RS232
if no other specific description, serial port parameters:
Baud rate4800bps/9600bpsDefault/19.2Kbps/38.4Kbps/57.6Kbps/115.2Kbps Data
bit8bits Stop bit1bit Check bitnone Flow controlnone 2If 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. 3The short time interval
can not less than 30ms between in two SCPI command when upper computer
continuous to send. 4This protocol differs from the standard SCPI, UTL8200/
UTL8500 series electronic load support each command only operating one single
data. 5This 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.
