	This chapter describes how to get started using your power system. It
	discusses turning the unit on, using the front panel controls, and
	navigating the front panel command menu. A map of the front panel
	menu structure is found in Chapter 1.
	This chapter also contains information on how to configure the three
	remote interfaces that are provided on the back of the instrument.
	Detailed information on configuring the remote interfaces is included in the
NOTE
	Agilent Technologies USB/LAN/GPIB Interfaces Connectivity Guide, which is
	available on the Automation-Ready CD included with this product.
