The voltage and current specs are rounded values from the manufacturer's specs. The devices might allow slightly higher values for voltage and current. The exact values read from the devices are available by listing the config keys SR_CONF_OUTPUT_VOLTAGE_MAX and ...CURRENT_MAX.
The devices linked above are supported. The other devices might work, but are untested. If you have one of the unsupported devices and can test it, please contact Matthias.
Some other device series by the same manufacturer exist that use a different communication protocol.
Config keys
Implementation in progress!
| Function | Target | Parameters | Comment |
|---|---|---|---|
| SR_CONF_OUTPUT_ENABLED | Device | Boolean on/off | Get: Query output status. Set: Switch output on or off. Power-on default is on. |
| SR_CONF_OUTPUT_VOLTAGE | Device | Double | Get: Query output voltage. Updated only if sampling is active! |
| SR_CONF_OUTPUT_VOLTAGE_MAX | Channel | Double | List: Get 3-tupel (min, max, step) for output voltage range. Get: Get output voltage limit. Set: Set output voltage limit. |
| SR_CONF_OUTPUT_CURRENT | Device | Double | Get: Query output current. Updated only if sampling is active! |
| SR_CONF_OUTPUT_CURRENT_MAX | Device | Double | List: Get 3-tupel (min, max, step) for output current range. Get: Get output current limit. Set: Set output current limit. |

Protocol
ASCII based over USB-to-serial.
Some versions of the protocol description in manuals are incomplete or even erroneous.
| Command | Reply | Description | Remarks |
|---|---|---|---|
| GMOD\r | 3204\r OK\r |
Query model | Four-digit model code, e.g. 3202 for HCS-3202. |
| GETD\r | VVVVCCCCS\r OK\r |
Query displayed voltage, current and mode. | Four-digit voltage, e.g. 12.34; four-digit current, e.g. 12.34; status 0=constant voltage, 1=constant current. |
| SOUTn\r | OK\r | Disable output | Output on=0 (power-on default), off=1 |
| SESS\r | OK\r | Disable keyboard | Seems to time out after about 5 seconds. |
| ENDS\r | OK\r | Enable keyboard | When disabled with SESS. |
| VOLTnnn\r | OK\r | Set voltage to nn.n. | |
| CURRnnn\r | OK\r | Set current to nn.n or n.nn (model-dependant!). | |
| ... | ... | ... | Protocol description incomplete so far. |
