RS-232 Interface Reference
The power supply can be connected to the RS-232 interface using the 9-pin (DB-9)
serial connector on the rear panel. The power supply is configured as a DTE (Data
Terminal Equipment) device. For all communications over the RS-232 interface, the
power supply uses two handshake lines: DTR (Data Terminal Ready, on pin 4) and
DSR (Data Set Ready, on pin 6).
The following sections contain information to help you use the power supply over the
RS-232 interface. The programming commands for RS-232 are explained on
page 101.
RS-232 Configuration Overview
Configure the RS-232 interface using the parameters shown below. Use the front-
panel
key to select the baud rate, parity, and number of data bits (
).
• Baud Rate: 300, 600, 1200, 2400, 4800, or
9600
(
factory setting
)
• Parity and Data Bits:
None / 8 data bits
(
factory setting
)
Even / 7 data bits, or
Odd / 7 data bits
• Number of Start Bits:
1 bit
(
fixed
)
• Number of Stop Bits:
2 bits
(
fixed
)
RS-232 Data Frame Format
A character
frame
consists of all the transmitted bits that make up a single character.
The frame is defined as the characters from the
start bit
to the last
stop bit
, inclusively.
Within the frame, you can select the baud rate, number of data bits, and parity type.
The power supply uses the following frame formats for seven and eight data bits.
