Hi,
I'm trying to design a labview app that needs to work with a agilent 6032 power supply, but all I have is an agilent 6673A and 6652A.
Are the command-sets for basic setup of voltage / current operation the same across all three bench supplies?

The answer to this question is yes and no. The answer is yes if you program both instruments in the same language. The 6032A was designed before SCPI was the industry standard language so it contained a home grown language to control it that we now refer to as Compatibility. Later on SCPI became the standard and we designed the 66xxA supplies. After that happened, we released a new interface board for the 603xA supplies that allowed you to program both SCPI and compatibility. The 665xA also has the Compatibility language in it I think.
That being said I would recommend using the SCPI language to program both. If you do that, the basic commands will be the same for all single output power supplies that comply to the standard.
Let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
