Section 2. Installation and Configuration

Introduction

To use this product, you must have the following equipment:

•a compatible model of DC output power supply

•IEEE-488 connector and cable

•computer with an IEEE-488 interface

•Computer-based communications software package

We usually install the GPIB interface in a power supply at the factory. Your local distributor or service center can also install the interface, especially for use in a previously-purchased supply already on site. You must then configure the GPIB Interface-enhanced supply for your system using the “Basic Setup Procedure” on page 19. Refer also to Figure 2.1, pg. 16, Figure 2.2, pg. 17 and Figure 2.3, pg. 18 for drawings of the front panel, the interface subplate, and the GPIB interface printed circuit board (PCB).

Initial Inspection

CAUTION

If you remove the unit's cover, use proper static control techniques to avoid damage to static-sensitive components on the printed circuit board.

On first receiving your unit, perform a quick physical check.

•Ensure each package contains a power supply with its GPIB interface board installed, and manuals for the power supply and the GPIB interface. Any additional parts shipped with the power supply will be identified in the supply's documentation.

•Inspect the unit for any signs of physical damage such as scratches, cracks, or broken switches, connectors, or displays.

•Check the printed circuit board and components if you suspect internal damage.

If the unit is damaged, save all packing materials and notify the carrier immediately. For additional information, please see the section titled, “Returning Power Supplies to the Manufacturer” in the manual shipped with your complete unit.
