Remote Control Modes

A number of control interfaces are available. You can control the power supply remotely using 0–5V or 0–10V signals via the remote analog programming interface or from a remote terminal using a remote digital interface. A remote digital interface following RS-232 protocol is standard. An optional remote digital interface following IEEE 488.2 (GPIB) protocol is also available. An optional CANbus port for 6000 Watt units is also available which enables multi-channel communication from a single GPIB address, and supports current sharing with parallel connected units. (For detailed information, see Section 4, “Remote Operation”.)
