Blank Front Panel Option 001
Introduction
This appendix describes the blank front panel option (Option 001) for the Agilent 6030A/31A/32A power supplies. Option 001 is designed for applications in which front panel operation and monitoring are unnecessary. It has no

Troubleshooting
The major difference between troubleshooting an Option 001 unit and a standard power supply is that the front panel is not available to help you isolate the problem to a specific section in the power supply. If you know which section of the supply is defective, simply go to that section in the troubleshooting procedure and troubleshoot as described in Chapter 3.
To help you isolate the problem to a specific area of the supply, use the flowchart provided in this section.
If you cannot isolate the problem using the flowchart, you could replace the blank front panel of your supply with a standard front panel and then troubleshoot the unit. Part numbers for front panel assemblies are provided in Chapter 5.
Chapter 2 Manual Changes:
On Page 20 Power Limit Calibration, change step f to read: Connect a DVM to control board test connector A2J7 pin 16 (CC). Observe the DVM while adjusting A2R25 (POWER LIMIT) clockwise. Stop adjusting as soon as test point
Note: You can also send an STS? query (or SCPI equivalent) in a looping program and monitor when the power supply status changes to CC mode.
Under the Performance Tests section, any references to front panel control will have to be accomplished using GPIB commands. Use the following guidelines:
1.To set the voltage and current to specific values, use the VSET and ISET (or SCPI equivalent) commands.
2.If the procedure says to check the CC or CV LED's, use an STS? query (or SCPI equivalent). A returned value of 1 indicates CV mode; a value of 2 indicates CC mode.
