– Calibrating the power supply, including changing the calibration secure code
– Configuring the power supply for remote interfaces
– Enabling or disabling the output
When operated over the remote interface, the power supply can be both a listener
and a talker. Using an external controller, you can instruct the power supply to set
the output and to send the status data back over the GPIB or RS-232. Capabilities
include the following features:
– Voltage and current programming
– Voltage and current readback
– Present and stored status readback
– Programming syntax error detection
– Complete self-test
The front-panel VFD (Vacuum-Fluorescent Display) includes:
– Displaying actual values of output voltage and current (meter mode)
– Or displaying the limit values of voltage and current (limit mode)
– Checking the operating status from the annunciators
– Checking the type of error from the error codes (messages)
Connections to the power supply’s output and to chassis ground are made to
binding posts on the front panel and to the rear output terminals.
