4 Remote Operation
There are several interfaces available for remote communication: USB,
RS-232, GPIB, Ethernet, and RS-485. With all these interfaces, this
power supply is very flexible to be controlled remotely. Users can
program the power supply by using the SCPI (Standard Commands for
Programmable Instruments) commands over any one of the remote
interfaces. This section will describe how to set up all of the supported
interfaces.
Note: The RMT indicator will appear on display when the power supply
is successfully connected to a PC remotely through any remote
interface. Keys on the front panel will be locked until the instrument is
in LOCAL mode. To return to LOCAL mode from the front panel, press
. The RMT indicator will disappear when the instrument is in LOCAL
mode.
