4 Operating the Power Supply Remotely

Connecting to the Interfaces

The Agilent N5700 power supplies support remote interface communication using a choice of three interfaces: GPIB, USB, and LAN. All three interfaces are live at power-on.

GPIB Interface

 

 

 

 

For detailed information about GPIB interface connections, refer to the Agilent

The following steps will help you quickly get started connecting your

 

 

 

 

instrument to the General Purpose Interface Bus (GPIB). The

 

 

 

 

following figure illustrates a typical GPIB interface system.

1If you have not already done so, install the Agilent IO Libraries Suite from the Automation-Ready CD-ROM that is shipped with your product.

2If you do not have a GPIB interface card installed on your computer, turn off your computer and install the GPIB card.

3Connect your instrument to the GPIB interface card using a GPIB interface cable.

4Use the Connection Expert utility of the Agilent IO Libraries Suite to configure the installed GPIB interface card’s parameters.

5The power supply is shipped with its GPIB address set to 5. Use the front panel menu if you need to change the GPIB address.

a Press and hold the OCP/488 button for about three seconds. The DC VOLTS display will show the present GPIB address.

b To change the GPIB address, turn the voltage knob until the desired GPIB address appears in the display. Valid GPIB addresses are in the range of 0 to 30.

6You can now use Interactive IO within the Connection Expert to communicate with your instrument, or you can program your instrument using the various programming environments.
