Remote Interface Configuration
Before you can operate the power supply over the remote interface, you must
configure the power supply for the remote in terface. This section gives
information on configuring the remote interface. For additional information
on programming the power supply o ver the remote interface,
See "Rem ote
Interface Reference", starting on page 73 in chapter 4.
Remote Interface Selection
The power supply is shipped with both an HP-IB (IEEE-488) interface and an
RS-232 interface on the rear panel. Only one interface can be enabled at a time.
The HP-IB interface is sel ected when the power supply is shipp ed 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 HP-IB 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 HP-IB bus controll er has its own address . B e sure to avoid usin g the
bus controller’s address for any instrument on the interface bus. Hewlett-
Packard 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 momenta rily on the front panel when you
turn on the power supply if you have selected this interface.
