Installation and Configuration

Basic Setup Procedure

Setup For those who want more information, each step refers to more detailed procedures Procedure located in subsequent sections.

1.Power ON Power on the unit.

2.Configure Computer Controller

Configure the controller to match the power supply characteristics. The unit is shipped with default GPIB address 2. Configure your controller to talk to address 2.

3.Test

Test the link by communicating with the power supply.

Example: Send the ID query “*IDN?” and ensure you get a response. Send the

command ":VOLT 2;:CURR 1" to set voltage to 2V and current limit to 1A. (Using IBIC1 this would be ‘ibwrt ":volt 2;:curr 1"’)

See “Change Remote/Local Mode” on page 48 for information about changing about Local/Remote modes.

4.Configure power supply

If desired, configure the power supply with the desired power on settings or a different GPIB address. (Be sure to change the controller address to match.) See “Power On Remote State” on page 49, “Set Up Power ON Defaults” on page 56, and “Power On Output State” on page 57.
