GPIB Address
Each device on the GPIB (IEEE-488) interface must have a unique address.
You can set the power supply’s address to any value between 0 and 30. The
current address is displayed momentarily on the front panel when you turn on
the power supply. The address is set to “05” when the power supply is shipped
from the factory.
The GPIB address can be set from the front-panel only.
• The address is stored in non-volatile memory, and does not change when
power has been off or after a remote interface reset.
• Your GPIB bus controller has its own address. Be sure to avoid the bus
controller’s address for any instrument on the interface bus. Agilent
Technologies controllers generally use address “21”.
Baud Rate Selection (RS-232)
You can select one of six baud rates for RS-232 operation. The rate is set to
9600 baud when the power supply is shipped from the factory.
The baud rate can be set from the front-panel only.
• Select one of the following: 300, 600, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600 baud. The factory
setting is 9600 baud.
• The baud rate selection is stored in non-volatile memory, and does not
change when power has been off or after a remote interface reset.
Parity Selection (RS-232)
You can select the parity for RS-232 operation. The power supply is configured
for no parity and 8 data bits when shipped from the factory.
The parity can be set from the front-panel only.
• Select one of the following: None (8 data bits, factory setting), Even (7 data
bits), or Odd (7 data bits). When you set the parity, you are indirectly setting
the number of data bits.
• The parity selection is stored in non-volatile memory, and does not change
when power has been off or after a remote interface reset.
