When you measure the output voltage or short current by the multi-meter, please make sure the value is correct. Otherwise it will cause the calibration failure and let the output turbulence.

Please make sure that the maximum current of your multi-meter is higher than the maximum current of the calibrated power supply, otherwise it would damage the multi-meter.

5.4 Reset to the default calibration settings

In the calibration process, if there is any failure caused by the misreading the voltage value and current value or any other reason, you can use the “Restore” to let the power supply return to the state before calibrating.

Chapter 6 PV1785B_1788 Software

6.1 Introduction

Software PV1785B_1788 is control software for 1785B - 1788 series programmable power supplies. It can work with all single-output power supply models. Please make sure that you purchased IT-E131 communication cable, and use IT-E131 to connect the power supply and computer before the communicating. This software can accomplish all the functions of the power supply, such as setting constant voltage, setting constant current, max voltage etc. Also you can make quickly settings or make a program for the output voltage and current by the computer. In addition, PV1785B_1788 offer a GO/NG test function for automatic factory testing .It brings you much convenient when you use the power supply.

6.2 Installation

1. Requirements for the computer

Pentium III or Pentium IV processor-based personal computer Windows 98/2000/XP or Windows NT4.0

2.Insert the CD-Rom which supplied with the instrument to the CD driver, and install the software step by step according to the instructions. The software PV1785B_1788 and PC1785B_1788 will be installed on your computer at the same time.
