SECTION 3 - OPERATION
3.1
GENERAL
This section explains how to operate the KLN 750W Power Supply. KLN 750W Power Supplies
feature three modes of operation:
• Local Mode (see PAR. 3.3): This is the default operating mode, providing full access to
all programming and readback functions via front panel displays, controls, and indica-
tors.
• Analog Remote Mode (see PAR. 3.5): The unit can be controlled using analog signals
applied via the Programming Control port, regardless of whether local or digital remote is
active.
• Digital Remote Mode (see PAR. 3.6): This mode is selected via commands transmitted
through one of the digital ports. One port is for RS-485 port [standard models] The sec-
ond port is optional: either an IEEE-488 (GPIB) (G-suffix models) port or a LAN port [E-
Suffix models]. The power supply automatically goes into digital remote mode when
commands are accepted via one of the digital ports. All communication is via SCPI com-
mands which afford full functionality of the KLN 750W (see PAR. 3.7, Appendix A and
Appendix B).
