Your ac source is shipped with the GPIB address set to 5 This address can only be changed from the front panel using the Address menu located under the Address key. This menu is also used to select the RS- 232 interface and specify RS-232 parameters such baud rate and parity.

Action

Display

To set the GPIB address, proceed as follows:

1.

On the System keypad, press Address.

ADDRESS

5

2.

Enter the new address. For example, Press 7, Enter.

7

To configure the RS-232 interface, proceed as follows:

1.

On the System keypad, press Address.

ADDRESS 5

2.

Scroll through the Address menu by pressing . The interface command

INTF RS232

 

lets you select the RS-232 interface. The baudrate command lets you

BAUDRATE 600

 

select the baudrate. The parity command lets you select the parity.

PARITY EVEN

3.The ↓ and ° keys let you select the command parameters.

11 - Saving and Recalling Operating States

You can save up to 16 states (from location 0 to location 15) in non-volatile memory and recall them from the front panel. All programmable settings are saved. List data, however, cannot be saved in state storage. Only one list is saved in non-volatile memory.

Action

Display

To save an operating state in location 1, proceed as follows:

1.Set the instrument to the operating state that you want to save.

2. Save this state to location 1. Press Shift Save 1 Enter.

*SAV 1

To recall a saved state in location 1, proceed as follows:

1.

Recall the state saved in location 1 by pressing Recall 1 Enter

*RCL 1

To select the power-on state of the ac source, proceed as follows:

 

1.

On the Function keypad, press Shift Output, and scroll through the Output

PON:STATE RST

 

menu until you get to the PON state command.

 

2.Use the ↓ and ° keys to select either RST or RCL0. RST sets the power-on state of the unit as defined by the *RST command. RCL0 sets the power-on state of the unit to the state saved in *RCL location 0.

To clear the non-volatile memory of the ac source, proceed as follows:

1.

On the Function keypad, press Shift Output and scroll to the *RST com-

*RST

 

mand. Then press Enter. This returns the unit to the factory-default settings.

 

2.

Save these settings to location 1. Press Shift Save 1 Enter.
