MX Series 30
Response time is 10 ms (typical)
RS232C Interface:
Bi-directional serial interface ,9 pin D-shell connector
Handshake: CTS, RTS
Data bits: 7, 8
Stop bits: 1,2
Baud rate: 9600 to 115,200 bps
Syntax: IEEE 488.2 and SCPI.
NOTE: Disconnect any USB connection when using the RS232 interface.
NOTE: When the LAN interface option is installed, the RS232 interface is disabled.
USB Interface:
Standard USB 1.1 peripheral.
Data transfer rate: 460,800 bps
Syntax: IEEE 488.2 and SCPI.
NOTE: Use of the USB port to control more than one power source from a single PC is not
recommended, as communication may not be reliable. Use GPIB interface for multiple power source
control.
LAN Interface:
Option –LAN. When the LAN interface is installed, the RS232 interface is disabled.

Protocol: TCP/ IP.
Syntax: IEEE 488.2 and SCP
NOTE: Disconnect any USB connection when using the LAN interface.
Current Limit Modes:
Two selectable modes of operation:
Co n s t a nt current mode (voltage folds back with automatic recovery)
Constant voltage mode with trip-off (Relays open).
