The user must provide the IEEE-488 cable, which is required to interface the 
Model 200-C488 to the users GPIB network.

Using these GPIB functions the GPIB controller may send ASCII command 
strings to control and monitor the high voltage power supply.

SECTION II GENERAL DESCRIPTION 

 
CAUTION- 

THE UNIT BEING CONTROLLED BY THE 200-C488 CAN STORE 
HAZARDOUS VOLTAGE.  COMPLETELY DISCHARGE HIGH VOLTAGE AT 
REAR PANEL GROUND TERMINAL BEFORE ATTEMPTING REMOVAL OF 
THE HIGH VOLTAGE CABLE. 

 
2.1

 

INSTALLATION  

 
The Model 200-C488 IEEE 488 interface can amount in a standard 19” rack. 
 
2.2

 

INPUT POWER 

 
Input AC line voltage required is 115/230 Vac + 10%, 50 – 60 Hz, single phase.  The LINE VOLTAGE 
selector switch on the rear panel selects either 115Vac operation. 
 
2.3

 

PROGRAM CONTROL SWITCH 

 

 
Before the Series 205A/210 may be used in a GPIB system, the power supply must be configured by setting 
the power supply’s rear panel REMOTE/LOCAL control switch in the remote position. 
 
2.4

 

GPIB ADRESS SWITCH 

 
Located on the rear panel of the 200-C488 is an eight-position DIP switch.  Every instrument on a GPIB 
must have am unique bus address in the range 0 to 30, inclusive.  The address is set with five switches A4 
through A0, A4 the most significant bit and A0 the least significant bit.  Bits A5 and A7 of the address 
switch must remain at the logic zero state.  Bit A6 control whether the 200-C488 will terminate character 
strings with or without a carriage return and a linefeed.  Figure 2.1 shows the switch orientation and bit 
designations. 
 
The GPIB address switch is only read on power- on.  Therefore, when the address is to be changed, the unit 
must be turned off and then back on.
