This manual describes the procedure for connecting the interface and the procedure for transmitting commands to the PCR-M using SCPI commands.

Overview

In addition to using the front panel, the PCR-M can be controlled remotely using the following interfaces.

• RS232C interface (standard equipped)

• GPIB interface (option: IB21)

• USB interface (option: US21)

The interface type is selected from the panel.

 

The remote interface complies with IEEE 488.2 std 1992 and SCPI Specification 1999.0.

 

The functionality of the PCR-M is expanded by using the remote control function.

•  Peak current (held value) measurement

FETCh:CURRent:AMPLitude:MAXimum:HOLD

MEASure:CURRent:AMPLitude:MAXimum:HOLD

SENSe:CURRent:PEAK:CLEar (clear the peak hold value)

•  Apparent power, reactive power, and power factor measurements

FETCh:POWer:AC:APParent/MEASure:POWer:AC:APParent (apparent power)

FETCh:POWer:AC:REACtive/MEASure:POWer:AC:REACtive (reactive power)

FETCh:POWer:AC:PFACtor/MEASure:POWer:AC:PFACtor (power factor)

FETCh:CURRent:CREStfactor/MEASure:CURRent:CREStfactor (crestfactor)

 

Use the SCPI commands only after you have understood the SCPI command syntax on the PCR-M.
