s™

system (typically 32 bit Windows OS) and click on the Install button to begin the

9.6 Trouble Shooting - RS232C
This section provides guidelines for resolving communication problems that may occur when
using the KDCGUI software under Windows .
You may encounter problems when using the serial interface with the KDCGUI program that is
supplied with the interface option for this source.
Symptoms:
1. Unable to verify connection to the power supply through RS232C interface. Time-out occurs
and dialog box appears that asks if you want to switch to simulation mode. An error message
(ERR -
100) may appear on the front panel LED‟s of the power supply.
- Or -
2. Verification is successful but slewing of voltage, frequency or current limit results in an ERR -
100.
Things to check:
1.
Is any PC com port available for communication with the power supply? On older PC‟s com
port interrupts are often shared between com 1 and com3 as well as com2 and com 4. If any
of these other com ports is in use, it may prevent you from using the com port that shares
the same interrupt.
2. Did you use the RS232C cable that was supplied with the power source? If not, make sure
you obtain the correct cable. (DB9 to DB9, straight through, male to female).
3. Did you connect the serial cable to the 9 pin D-
Sub marked “RS232/RS485” on the rear-
panel? The secondary RS232C port labeled with RS232 only is not active even when
present.
