Remote Interface Configuration
Before you can operate the power supply over the remote
interface, you must configure the power supply for the
remote interface. This section gives information on
configuring the remote interface. For additional information
on programming the power supply over the remote interface,
Refer to
Chapter 3, “Remote Interface Reference” .
Remote interface selection
The power supply is shipped with both a GPIB (IEEE- 488)
interface and an RS- 232 interface on the rear panel. Only
one interface can be enabled at a time. The GPIB interface
is selected when the power supply is shipped from the
factory.
The remote interface can be selected from the front- panel
only.
• The interface selection is stored in non- volatile memory,
and does not change when power has been off or after a
remote interface reset.
•
If you select the GPIB interface, you must select a unique
address for the power supply. The current address is
displayed momentarily on the front panel when you turn
on the power supply.

• Your GPIB bus controller has its own address. Be sure to
avoid using the bus controller’s address for any
instrument on the interface bus. Keysight controllers
generally use address 21.
• If you enable the RS- 232 interface, you must select the
baud rate and parity to be used.
RS-232
is displayed
momentarily on the front panel when you turn on the
power supply if you have selected this interface.
