Basic Setup Procedure

Basic Setup Procedure

This procedure can be used as a quick reference for those familiar with the configuration requirements for the GPIB-M interface as installed in the DC power supply.

IEEE-488 Controller Connection

Connect the GPIB cable to the supply at connector on the rear panel. Use an approved IEEE-488 connector and cable when connecting the GPIB Interface to your IEEE-488 GPIB network. Refer to Figure 2.4, Figure 2.5, Figure 2.6 or Figure 2.7.

Add a ferrite block to reduce radiated emissions. The one inch square ferrite block with built-in housing clip is packaged and shipped with the power supply interface card.

To install the ferrite block:

1.Position the block no more than 5 cm (2 in.) from the power supply end of the user cable.

2.Open the ferrite block housing.

3.Run the cable through the ferrite block. See Figure 2.9, “XFR GPIB Cable with Ferrite Block” on page 31.

4.Close the housing clip.

The ferrite block ensures that the power supply system meets radiated emission requirements for CE mark.
