About This Manual

This technical manual is for the internal GPIB interface, a microprocessor-controlled option card for XPD Series DC output power supplies. This manual provides you with descriptions and specifications, user options, and configuration instructions, in addition to a command set which enables you to manage the power supply from an external source. Error messages and calibration procedures are also included.

This manual is designed for the user who is familiar with basic electrical theory especially as it applies to the operation of power supplies. This implies a recognition of Constant Voltage and Constant Current operation modes and the control of input and output power, as well as the observance of safe techniques while effecting supply or pin connections and any changes in switch settings. The user should also have experience with a computer-based communications software package.

Refer to your power supply manual for installation, configuration, and operating procedures for your power supply.
