Elso - Command line PSU Configurator and Commander

Command line configurator and commander for a Power Supply from Delta Elektronika BV is CLI tool designed to configure, check communication and control an power supply connected to Ethernet. Program is working under Linux and MS Windows.

Main functions:

• Explore LAN and show connected PSU's
• Easy configure IP address of the PSU
• Send basic SCPI commands to PSU
• Reads response from the PSU
• Can be used in batch files and scripts for task automation

Command line configurator for Delta Elektronika PSU's by www.elso.sk v1.2.33 Win32 i386
 When no parameter is specified, program searches for PSU's on Local Network.
 Commands are case insensitive. Use Slash (/) or Minus (-) as parameter switch.
 Any number can be entered also as Hex with "x" or "0x" prefix, so xFF is 255 decimal.

Examples:

Command: edcmde.exe /ip 192.168.1.183 /cmd *idn? sends to an PSU with IP address 192.168.1.183 request for identification (SCPI command *idn?) and shows response from the PSU e.g.: DELTA ELEKTRONIKA BV,PSC ETH P256 V3.7.0,10219718,0

Command: edcmde.exe /ip 192.168.1.182 /cmd "meas:volt?;meas:curr?;outp 1;syst:err?"  sends to the an PSU at IP address 192.168.1.184 commands "meas:volt?;meas:curr?;outp 1;syst:err?" and shows responses from the PSU on one line, e.g.: 0.0026,-0.0029,0,None .

Commands: edcmde.exe /mac 00-12-4D-01-A6-71 /ip 192.168.1.183 /static sets Static IP address 192.168.1.183 to an PSU with MAC address 00-12-4D-01-A6-71.

Command: edcmde.exe /tport 9221 /ip 192.168.1.21 /cmd V1o?;I2o?;V2o?;I2o?;V3o?;I3o?; reads actual values of voltage and current from all three channels of the PSU TTi MX1xxP with IP address 192.168.1.21, in this case TCP port 9221 is used.

Command: edcmde.exe /u /ip 192.168.172.180 /cmd "initnet;*idn?;disconnect" initialise network connection, send *IDN? command by UDP protocol to unit at address 192.168.172.87 and disconnect (/u is aimed for ET1307 controller)

edcmde.exe /u /ip 192.168.172.180 /cmd "initnet;sour:volt 232.7;sour:curr 1;sour:freq 365;sour:outp on;sour on; ;meas:volt?;disconnect"
