Refresh List:  When this button is clicked, the web page will make a scan to find connected HFE 

Power Supplies and put the discovered addresses into the list box.
Every time the “DC Power” web page is opened, it will automatically scan for all connected Power 

Supplies and display it in the drop down menu. If a Power Supply is added or removed after 

opening the “DC Power” web page, the “Refresh List” button will have to be clicked. 
Blink Identify:  When this button is clicked, the LAN module LAN LED (Green) blinks. This function 

allows the user to quickly identify which module is being communicated to in a rack of instruments. 
The blink identify is turned OFF by clicking this button again or with a LAN specific command.
Measurements:  This section displays the selected Power Supply’s actual output voltage and 

current. 
Please refer to HFE User Manual (/S option) for the range of Voltage, Current and Temperature 

Measurements for each model.

Settings Section
To change the Power Supply settings or the LAN settings, a user must first log in.

Login Rules:
Only one web page user may be logged-in at a time to modify the power supply settings. Only 

one additional web page user may view the web pages of a power supply at the same time.

pages but you cannot login to change settings. Only one web page user may view the power 

supply settings.
If a web page user is logged in, a VISA or socket connection cannot be opened by an automation 

program.
