Technical FAQ
Q:What is SCPI protocol?
A:Standard Commands for Programmable Instruments (SCPI) is a standard for controlling test and measurement devices.
Q:Can I control this via Python?
A:Yes, using the PyVISA library or direct socket communication over LAN/USB.
Q:Does it support arbitrary waveform generation?
A:Many of our programmable models allow you to program custom voltage/current sequences to simulate complex power profiles.
