Section 1. Features and Specifications
Description
The internal GPIB interface card allows you to operate your power supply from a computer controller via the IEEE-488 communications bus. See Figure 1.1, “Sample Configuration using GPIB Interface”.
The GPIB interface allows complete remote programming of your power supply, including status reporting, settings query, and interrupt generation with user-designated fault conditions. Both the voltage and current output are precisely programmed directly in volts and amps with 16-bit resolution. Additionally, the built-in DVM and current shunt measure the actual power supply output and provide you with 16-bit readback. The programming command set is easy-to-use and includes software calibration commands. The interface card comes standard with several protection features such as programmable over voltage protection, foldback, load isolation signal, and soft limits.
