Hardware

There was two hardware revisions (versions) of these units released. Model numbes did not change so it is difficult to determine whether unit is the "old" or "new" hardware revision. However, at least on GPD-3303S there is slight change to unit front panels; older units have slight space in output jacks between "CH1" and "FIXED" channel, while newer units have even spacing.

It would appear that older hardware revision units have firmware version < v2.00, but this has not been confirmed (based on anecdotal evidence only).

Protocol

These units use SCPI like command protocol. However, units do not implement all mandatory SCPI commands.

There appears to be difference in the protocol between old and new hardware revision units. Output from STATUS? command differs:

Bit New Units Old Units
0 CH1 (0=CC, 1=CV)
1 CH2 (0=Cc, 1=CV)
2,3 Tracking (01=Independent, 11=Series, 10=Parallel)
4 Beep (0=OFF, 1=ON)
5 Output (0=OFF, 1=ON) N/A
6 Baud (00=115200, 01=57600, 00=9600) Output (0=OFF, 1=ON)
7 N/A


Example output to *STATUS? command:

Old units:

0 0 0 1 0 X 0 X  
bit0:(CH1)0=CC,1=CV;bit1:(CH2)0=CC,1=CV;bit23=(TRACK)01=INDEP,11=SER,10=PAR;
bit4:(BEEP)0=OFF,1=ON;bit6:(OUT)0=OFF,1=ON;


New units:

0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0
