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.
