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, See “Remote Interface Reference” on
page 99.
Remote interface selection
The power supply is shipped with both an HPIB (IEEE-488) interface and an
RS-232 interface on the rear panel. Only one interface can be enabled at a time.
The HPIB 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 HPIB 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 HPIB bus controller has its own address. Be sure to avoid using the bus
controller’s address for any instrument on the interface bus. Hewlett-Packard
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.
