Examples
This section describes a few brief examples using some of the commands
described in this manual. These examples are intended to show how the
commands from the Command section work together to complete a task.
Example 1: Monitor Power Supply Voltages
This example shows how to monitor the mainframe power supply voltages
1. Send the STATus:QUEStionable:VOLTage:ENABle command to enable the
bits in the Voltage Enable register. This command lets you monitor all
voltage limits.
STAT:QUES:VOLT:ENAB 32767
2. Send the STATus:QUEStionable:ENABle command to enable the bit 0 in the
Questionable Enable register. If any problems occur with any of the power
supplies, bit 0 of the register will be set.
STAT:QUES:ENAB 1
Example 2: Monitor the Delta Temperature
This example shows how to monitor the delta temperature in slots 0, 1, 2, and 3.
The maximum allowable delta temperature for slots 0 and 1 is 10 °C; the
maximum allowable delta temperature for slots 2 and 3 is 5 °C.
1. Send the STATus:QUEStionable:TEMPerature:LIMit command to set the
temperature limits for the four slots (one command per slot):
STAT:QUES:TEMP:LIM DELTA0, 10
STAT:QUES:TEMP:LIM DELTA1, 10
STAT:QUES:TEMP:LIM DELTA2, 5
STAT:QUES:TEMP:LIM DELTA3, 5
2. Send the STATus:QUEStionable:TEMPerature:ENABle command to enable
the bits in the Temperature Enable register. This command allows you to
measure temperatures for the individual slots.
STAT:QUES:TEMP:ENAB #H0F
