Remote Interface Configuration
Before you can operate the power supply over the remote interface, you must
configure the power supply for the remote interface. This section gives information
on configuring the remote interface. For additional information on programming the
power supply over the remote interface, See chapter 4 “Remote Interface Reference”,
starting on page 65.
Remote Interface Selection
The power supply is shipped with both an GPIB (IEEE-488) interface and an RS-232
interface on the rear panel. Only one interface can be enabled at a time. The GPIB
interface is selected when the power supply is shipped from the factory.
The remote interface can be selected from the front-panel only.
• The interface selection is stored in non-volatile memory, and does not change when
power has been off or after a remote interface reset.
• If you select the GPIB interface, you must select a unique address for the power
supply. The current address is displayed momentarily on the front panel when you
turn on the power supply.

• Your GPIB bus controller has its own address. Be sure to avoid using the bus
controller’s address for any instrument on the interface bus. Agilent Technologies
controllers generally use address “21”.
• If you enable the RS-232 interface, you must select the baud rate and parity to be
used. “RS-232” is displayed momentarily on the front panel when you turn on the
power supply if you have selected this interface.
