KDS6-0.2TR Remote Control 27
Chapter 4 Remote Control
This chapter explains remote control via a GPIB or RS-232C interface.
4.1 Remote Interfaces
The KDS6-0.2TR is equipped with the GPIB and RS-232C remote interfaces.
When either the GPIB or the RS-232C interface is used, the KDS6-0.2TR can be
controlled from an external controller in conjunction with programming.
The GPIB and RS-232C interfaces cannot be used simultaneously.
After the power is turned on, the interface used first for communication is selected
as the default interface. To select the other interface, turn the power off, then power
on and perform communication through the intended interface.
4.1.1 GPIB Interface
To use the GPIB interface, you must establish a GPIB address unique to the device
to be connected to the GPIB bus.
The KDS6-0.2TR was factory-shipped with the GPIB address set to 1. To change
this setting to another address, follow the procedure described below.
Setting the GPIB address
1. Turn the power switch on while holding down the LOCAL key.
Do not remove your finger from the LOCAL key too quickly.
Continue pressing the LOCAL key until “Ib Adr” appears in the output amme-
ter and a number appears in the voltage setting display.
The number indicated in the voltage setting display is the present GPIB address.
Sample display:
2. Change the GPIB address by turning the voltage control knob.
The GPIB address can be specified in a range from 1 to 30.
3. Press the SHIFT key to save the newly established address.
Pressing the SHIFT key saves the address you have set. If you turn the power
off without pressing the SHIFT key, the setting will be lost.
