Series N6700 User’s Guide 9
Remote voltage
sensing
Two remote sensing terminals are provided for each output. When shipped from the
factory, the remote sense jumpers are included in a separate bag. Refer to Chapter 2
for details.
Voltage
and current
measurements
All power modules can measure their own output voltage and current.
Voltage, current,
and temperature
protection
Each output has over-voltage, over-current, and over-temperature protection. Over-
voltage and over-current protection are programmable. When activated, the
protection circuits cause the voltage to go to zero, the output to be disabled, and the
protection status to be reported.
System Features
SCPI language The instrument is compatible with the Standard Commands for Programmable
Instruments (SCPI).
Choice of three
interfaces
GPIB (IEEE-488), LAN, and USB (mini B) remote programming interfaces are
built in.
Front panel I/O
setup
Menus let you set up GPIB and LAN parameters from the front panel. Refer to
Chapter 3 for details.
Built-in Web
server
A built-in Web server lets you control the instrument directly from an internet
browser on your computer. Refer to Chapter 3 for details.
Real-time status
information
The front panel indicates the status of each output. It also indicates when a
protection shut-down has occurred.
Module
identification
Each module has identifying data stored in non-volatile memory. Information
includes model number, serial number, and options. This information can be
displayed on the front panel.
