Appendix D Grouping/Compatibility
112 Series E4360 User’s Guide
Other parameters for each paralleled group will require the same
settings to be programmed. In Fixed mode, the same voltage level must
be programmed to all groups. In SAS mode, the same model parameters
or list step must be in effect for each group. If lists are used, each group
must get the same list steps and triggering to cause the channels to
change steps at the same time. In Table mode, the same table must be
activated for each group.
For analog connector wiring, when the mainframe group contains the
master output, channel 1 must be configured as a master and channel 2
as a follower. When the mainframe group contains only follower outputs,
both output channels must be configured as followers.
Step 4. Reboot the unit for the grouping or ungrouping changes to take effect.

Instrument and Module Addressing
The Keysight E4360 Modular SAS is comprised of two modules installed
in a mainframe while the Keysight E4350B/E4351B SAS instruments
have one output per instrument. Due to the multiple modules used in the
E4360 SAS, a channel list is used when a channel-specific command is
sent to the mainframe. For example, to set the voltage of channel 2 of an
E4360 to 5 V, the command “VOLT 5, (@2)” would be used where the
“,(@2)” specifies channel 2. For the E4360, if the channel list is omitted
in a channel specific command (for example, “VOLT 5”), the channel will
be assumed channel 1 and no error will be generated.
Because the channel list was not used with the E4350B/51B
instruments, you would not be able to program channel 2 if you used the
same program code that was developed for the E4350B/51B
instruments. As a convenience, on the E4360 Modular SAS, you can
group two outputs in the same mainframe to make them act, from a
programming point of view, like a single, higher-power output channel
as previously described. This applies when programming from the front
panel or using SCPI commands. Commands sent without a channel
parameter will be sent to both grouped channels.
Differences in General
The following table describes additional differences between the
Keysight E4360 Modular SAS and the Keysight E4350B/51B SAS
instruments. The major differences are in the physical size of the units.
Regarding performance, the E4360 SAS is at least equal to and in most
cases superior to the E4350B/51B instruments.
