Typically, only one programming mode is used for both output parameters (voltage and current). However, the mode switches allow voltage and current to be programmed independently. For example, voltage could be programmed digitally, either via GP-IB or front panel, while current is resistance programmed. Note that only one programming mode can be used for each parameter at one time. (For example, it is not permissible to superimpose an analog programming voltage on the digital programming signal. To do so will cause programming errors.)

GP-IB Connection

Connections between the power supply and the GP-IB are made via the GP-IB connector on the rear panel. Figure 3-7 shows the signals at each of the GP-IB connector pins. The GP-IB connectors table in Section 1 lists cables and cable accessories that are available from Agilent. The GP-IB connector uses metric threads.

Figure 3-7. GP-IB Connector

An GP-IB system may be connected together in any configuration (star, linear or combination) as long as the following rules are followed:
