Section 1. Features and Specifications
Description
The RS-232 Interface is a microprocessor-controlled option card for all models of the XHR series and XFR series of DC output power supply. Installed internally, the RS-232 interface card gives you remote digital control of simple test systems. It features fast, 16-bit resolution for programming and readback and uses bit serial protocol for sending data between the computer and the interface. The RS-232 interface has an extensive command set and uses most of the user-programmable features employed by all of our interfaces.
In addition to the RS-232 port and its interface, this remote control application requires a computer-based communications software package such as PROCOMM, XTALK, Windows Terminal Program, equivalent communications software, or low level or high level language programs. The RS-232 interface is an ideal tool for reliable, remote power supply control of both research and development applications.
