authorized sales agent or Faithtech in case of need.
Use a IEEE488.2 GPIB cable to connect GPIB interfaces of power supply and PC. Please
ensure that the screws have been screwed down in order to have a full connection. Then
press “Menu” button to enter the system menu to set the address. GPIB address is saved in

Caution:
Restart the power supply after you changed the protocol, so as to let the changes take
effect.
1.4. Enter remote control mode
After the power supply receives any correct SCPI command, it enters the remote control
mode.
In the remote control mode: the local keyboard is locked, the key operation is invalid, and
the power can only be controlled by programming commands; the front panel screen
displays real-time status information such as voltage, current, and power, etc.. There are two
ways to exit the remote control mode:
Press "Enter" key, the system returns to local operation mode.
Send the programming command "SYSTem:LOCal" to make the power supply return to
local mode.
