Triple Output, 195 Watt Power SupplyBuild Remote Communication You can build the remote communication between DP800 and PC over USB, LAN, RS232 or GPIB (option,can be extended via the USB-GPIB interface converter) interface.Remote Controls Methods User-defined Programming You can program and control the instrument using the SCPI (Standard Commands for ProgrammableInstruments) Send SCPI Commands via the PC Software You can control the power supply remotely by sending SCPI commands via the PC software (UltraSigma) provided by RIGOL.SCPI Command OverviewSCPI (Standard Commands for Programmable Instruments) is a standardized instrument programming language that is built upon the standard IEEE488.1 and IEEE 488.2 and conforms to various standards (such as the floating point operation rules in IEEE754 standard, ISO646 7-bit coded character for information interchange (equivalent to ASCII programming)). This section introduces the syntax, symbols, parameters and abbreviation rules of the SCPI commands.SCPI Status RegistersAll the SCPI instruments execute the status register operations in the same way. The status system records the various instrument states into three register sets: status byte register, standard event register, and questionable status register sets. The status byte register records the advanced summary informationreported by other register sets. The SCPI status systems of the DP800 series multi-channel models.OVERVIEWThe Rigol DP832 is a very high-quality programmable laboratory power supply with three switchable outputs (+30 V/3 A, +30 V/3 A and +5 V/3 A) and a maximum power output of 195 W.Like all Rigol devices, the power supply features a very well constructed and easy to use interface offering comprehensive ease-of-use functions, such as programmable voltage curves. The menu has an intuitive structure.The Rigol DP832 features a relatively large (8.9 cm / 3.5) and easy
