To Build 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.
Note: The end mark of the command sent through RS232 interface is "\r\n".
Operation Steps:
1 Install the Ultra Sigma common PC software
You can acquire this software from the resource CD in the standard accessories or download it from
RIGOL official websit e (
2 Connect the instrument and PC and configure the interface parameters of the instrument
DP800 supports USB, LAN, RS232 and GPIB (extended via the USB HOST interface of the instrument)
communication interfaces, as shown in the figure below.
www.rigol.com) and then install it according to the instructions.
USB HOST
Figure 1-1 DP800 Communication Interfaces
Note: For DP831A/DP832A/DP821A/DP811A, the instrument is installed with the LAN and RS232
options when it leav es factory; users can build the remote communication between the instrument and
PC via the LAN or RS232 interface directly. For DP831/DP832/DP821/DP81 1, the LAN interface
communication and RS232 interface communication are optional functions; to use the functions,
please order the corresponding option and install the option correctly (
(1) Use the USB interface: connect the USB DEVICE interface at the rear panel of DP800 and the USB
HOST interface of the PC using USB cable.
(2) Use the LAN interface:
Make sure that your PC is connected to the local network.
Check whether your local network supports DHCP or auto IP mode. If not, you ne ed to
acquire the network interface parameters available, including the IP address, subnet mask,
gateway and DNS.
Connect DP800 to the local network using network cable.
Press Utility I/O Config LAN to configure the IP address, subnet mask, gateway and
DNS of the instrument.

:LIC:SET).
Chapter 1 Programming Overview RIGOL
(3) Use the RS232 interface:
Connect the RS232 interface with the PC or data terminal equipment (DTE) using RS232
cable.
Press Utility I/O Config RS232 to set interface parameters (such as the baud rate
and parity) that match the PC or terminal equipment.
(4) Use the GPIB interface:
Use the USB-GPIB interface converter to extend a GPIB interface via the USB HOST interface
at the rear panel o f DP800.
Connect the instrument with your PC using a GPIB cable.
Press Utility I/O Config GPIB to set the GPIB address of the instrument.
3 Check whether the connection is successful
Run the Ultra Sigma, search for resource, right-click the resource name and select "SCPI Panel
Control" in the pop-up menu. Enter the cor rect command in the pop-up SCPI control panel and click
"Send Command" and then "Read Response" or click "Send & Read" directly to check whether the
connection is successful.
Remote Control Methods
1 User-defined Programming
You can program and control the instrument using the SCPI (Standard Commands for Programmable
Instruments) commands listed in chapter 2 "Command System" in various development
environments (such as Visual C++, Visual Basic and LabVIEW). For details, refer to the introductions in

2 Send SCPI Commands via the PC Software
It is recommended that you control th e power supply remotel y by send ing SCPI commands vi a the PC
software Ultra Sigma provided by RIGOL
.
SCPI Command Overview
SCPI (Standard Comm ands for Programmable Instruments) is a standardized instrument programming
language that is built upon the standard IEEE 488.1 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 intercha nge (equivalent to ASCII programming)). This section introduces the syntax, symbols,
parameters and abbreviation rules of the SCPI commands.
Syntax
SCPI commands present a hierarchical tree structure and contain multiple subsystems, each subsystem
consists of a root keyword and one or more sub-keywords. The command string usually starts with ":"; the
keywords are separated by ":" and are followed by the parameter settings available. The command
keywords and the first parameter are separated b y a space. "?" i s added at the end of the comman d string
to indicate query.
For example,
:SYSTe m:COMMunicate:LAN:IPADdress <ip>
:SYSTem:COMMunicate:LAN:IPADdress?
SYSTem is the root keyword of the command. COMMunicate, LAN and IPADdress are the second-level,
third-level and forth-level keywords respectively. The command string starts with ":" which is also used to
separate the multiple-level keywords. <ip> represents the parameters available for setting. The command
DP800 Programming Guide 1-3
RIGOL Chapter 1 Programming Overview
keywords :SYSTem:COMMunicate:LAN:IPADdress and parameter <ip> are separated by a space. "?"
represents query.
"," is generally used for separating multiple parameters contained in the same command, for example,
:DELAY:PARAmeter <secnum>,{ON|OFF},<time>
Symbol Description
The following four symbols are not the content of SCPI commands and will not be sent with the commands.
They are usually used to describe the parameters in the commands.
1 Braces { }
Usually, multiple optional parameters are enclosed in the braces and one of the parameters must be
selected when sending the command. For example, :DISPlay:MODE {NORMal|WAVE|DIAL}.
2 Vertical Bar |
The vertical bar is used to separate multiple parameters and one of the parameters must be selected
when sending the command. For example, :DISPlay:MODE {NORMal|WAVE|DIAL}.
3 Square Brackets [ ]
The content (command keyword) enclosed in the square brackets can be omitted. When the
parameter is omitted, the instrument will set the parameter to its default. For example, for
the :MEASure[:VOLTage][:DC]? command, sending any of the four commands below can achieve the
same effect.
:MEASure?
:MEASure:DC?
:MEASure:VOLTage?
:MEASure:VOLTage:DC?
4 Triangle Brackets < >
The parameter enclosed in the tri ang le br ack ets m us t be replac ed by an ef fec tive valu e. F o r examp le,
send the :ANALyzer:CURRTime <value> command in :ANALyzer:CURRTime 5 form.
Parameter Type
The parameters of the commands introduced in this manua l contains 5 types: bool, integer, real number,
discrete and ASCII string.
1 Bool
The parameter could be "ON" (1) or "OFF" (0). For example, :RECorder[:STATe] {ON|OFF}.
2 Integer
Unless otherwise noted, the parameter can be any integer within the effective value range. Note that
do not set the parameter to a decimal; otherwise, errors will occur. For example, in
the :SYSTem:BRIGhtness <brightness> command, <brightness> can be any integer from 0 to 100.
3 Real Number
Unless otherwise noted, the parameter can be any real number within the effective value range.
For example, for CH1 of DP831A, the ranges of <volt> and <curr> in the :APPLy CH1,<volt>,<curr>
command are 0.000V to 8.400V and 0.0000A to 5.3000A respectively.
4 Discrete
The parameter could only be one of the specified values or characters. For example, in
the :ANALyzer:OBJect {V|C|P} command, the parameter can be V, C or P.
1-4 DP800 Programming Guide
Chapter 1 Programming Overview RIGOL
5 ASCII String
The parameter should be the combinations of ASCII characters. For example, in the :MMEMory:STORe
<file_name> command, <file_name> is the filename of the f ile to be saved and can include Chinese
characters, English characters and numbers.
Besides, many commands contain the MINimum and MAXimum parameters which are used to set the
parameter to its minimum or maximum value. For example, MINimum and MAXimum in
the :SYSTem:BRIGhtness {<brightness>|MINimum|MAXimum} command are used to set the brightness to
the minimum or maximum.
Command Abbreviation
All the commands are case-insensitive and you can use any of them. If abbreviation is used, all the capital
letters in the comman d must be written c ompletely. For example, the :ANALyzer:ANALyze command can be
abbreviated to :ANAL:ANAL.
SCPI Status Registers
All the SCPI instruments execute the status register operations in the same way. The s tatus system reco rds
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 information
reported by other register sets. The SCPI status systems of the DP8 00 series multi-channel models (take
DP831A as an example) and single-channel model (take DP811A as an example) are as shown in Figure 1-2
and Figure 1-3 respectively.
Event Register
The event register is r ead-only and is used to report some states of the power supply defined internally. All
the bits in the event register are latched and once an event bit is set, the later state (state of the event
represented by this bit) changes will all be ignored. The event register bits will be cleared automatically
when you send command to query the ev ent register (such as th e
command) or send the
the bits in the event register. When querying the event register, the query returns a decimal value
corresponding to the sum of the binary weights of all the bit s in the register.
*CLS command to clear the register, but the reset command (*RST) will not clear
Enable Register
The enable register is both readable and writable. It is used to define which status i nform ation will be
reported to the next-level. The bits in the enable register will not be cleared when you send command to
query the enable register or send the
can clear the bits in the event register). To enable the bits in the enable register, you need to write into the
register a decimal value corresponding to the sum of the binary weights of the bits to be enabled in the
register.
*CLS command to clear the register state (but the *CLS command
Multi-logic Output
This part is only applicable to multi-channel models. T ake DP831A as an exampl e. The 3-logic output of the
power supply includ es a channel questionable status register and three independent channel questionable
status SUMMARY registers (corresponding to the logic outputs of the three channels respectively). The
channel questionable status SUMMARY registers report the sta tus of each channel to the channel
questionable stat us register which then reports the channel status to the bit13 (ISUM bit) of the
