GPIB

Overview

The power supply can be programmed from a remote terminal using a

GPIB interface. Communication over the GPIB interface meets IEEE

488.2standards and are Standard Commands for Programmable Instrumentation (SCPI) compliant.

Codes and Standards

The GPIB interface of the XG 850 Watt Series Programmable DC Power Supply has been implemented according to IEEE Std 488.1-1987, IEEE Standard Digital Interface for Programmable Instrumentation. The communication protocol complies with IEEE 488.2-1992.

GPIB Interface Description and Required Cable Size

The GPIB interface is an 8-bit parallel data bus having a host of bus commands for synchronization and up to one megabyte data transfer rate. Use standard IEEE-488, 26 AWG GPIB cable up to 3 metres in length.

GPIB Pin Description

The GPIB port is a special GPIB female connector. See Figure 1-1.
