SECTION 3 - OPERATION
3.1
GENERAL
This section explains how to operate the ABC Power Supply. The power supply can be oper-
ated either in Local mode using the front panel keypad and LCD, or in Remote mode using
SCPI commands via the GPIB or RS 232 bus. Operation in remote mode can be simplified by
the use of the VISA driver available for download at http://www.kepcopower.com/drivers.htm.
Local mode operation includes a description of the interaction between the LCD and the front
panel keypad. Each key of the front panel is described, with a reference to a paragraph detailing
the use of that key.

REMOTE ON/OFF
Regardless of whether the unit is in local or remote mode, the output can be set to off (0V, 0A)
from a remote location by applying a logic 0 to pin 2 (0V0ASET signal) of the External Trigger
port (see to Table 2-2).

LOCAL MODE OPERATION
Local operation of the ABC Power Supply is accomplished via the 24 key keypad on the front
panel. All indications are provided by the 2-line LCD.
