Configuring the Remote Interface
This power supply is shipped with both a GPIB (IEEE-4888) interface and an RS-232
interface. The GPIB interface is selected when the power supply is shipped from the
factory. Only one interface can be enabled at a time. To exit the I/O configuration
mode without any changes, press
key until the ‘‘ NO CHANGE ’’ message is
displayed.
• You can set the GPIB address, parity, and baud rate from the front panel
only .
• The current selection is highlighted for emphasis. All other choices are dimmed.
• The interface selection is stored in
non-volatile memory, and does not change when
power has been off or after a power-on reset (
*RST
command).
GPIB Configuration
1 Turn on the remote configuration mode.
If “ RS-232 ” appears, select “ GPIB / 488 ” by turning the knob.
2 Select the GPIB address.
You can set the power supply’s address to any value between 0 and 30. The factory
setting is address ‘‘5’’.
3 Save the change and exit the menu.
N o t e Your computer's GPIB interface card has its own address. Be sure to avoid using the
computer's address for any instrument on the interface bus. Agilent Technologies
GPIB interface cards generally use address ‘‘21’’.
