When operated over the remote interface, the power supply can be both a
listener and a talker. Using an external controller, you can instruct the power
supply to set the output and to send the status data back over the GPIB or
RS-232. Capabilities include the following features:
Voltage and current programming
Voltage and current readback
Present and stored status readback
Programming syntax error detection
Complete self-test
The front-panel VFD (Vacuum-Fluorescent Display) includes:
Displaying actual values of output voltage and current (meter mode)
Or displaying the limit values of voltage and current (limit mode)
Checking the operating status from the annunciators
Checking the type of error from the error codes (messages)
Connections to the power supply’s output and to chassis ground are made to
binding posts on the front panel and to the rear output terminals.
Warning Floating the power supply output more than ±60 Vdc from the chassis presents an
electric shock hazard to the operator. Do not float the outputs more than ±60 Vdc
when metal shorting bars without insulation are used to connect the (+) output to the
(+) sense and the (-) output to the (-) sense terminals.
