Configuring for Remote Programming, Sensing, and Monitoring
This section lists switch, connector, and jumper functions for the power supply.
Subsequently, it provides a location diagram, gives procedures for resetting the
internal jumpers and switches, and covers reconfiguring or making connections to
the J3 connector.
You will find remote programming procedures and diagrams covered in more detail
in
“Remote Programming of Output Voltage and Current Limit” on page 54 , remote
sensing in “Local and Remote Sensing” on page 43
,
and remote monitoring of
readback signals and status indicators in “Remote Monitoring of Readback Signals
and Status Indicators” on page 72 .

Functions
Front Panel REM/LOC Switch
You can use the REM/LOC (Remote/Local
Programming) switch for remote programming. When set to REM (Remote
Programming), control of BOTH output voltage AND current limit is passed to
external voltage and/or current sources which are connected to the J3 connector.
Resetting the switch to LOC returns the supply to local (front panel) control. See
“Remote Programming of Output Voltage and Current Limit” on page 54 for more
information about using this switch.
External J3 Connector
The external J3 connector provides user access to the following functions:
•
Remote programming of output voltage OR current limit, and for OVP
•
Remote monitoring of the following readback signals and status indicators
•
Remote programming of the shutdown function using AC, DC, or TTL
compatible signals
•
Remote sensing of output voltage
See Figure 3.1 .
