Section 1. Features and Specifications

Description

The RS-232 Interface is a microprocessor-controlled option card for all models of

the XT and HPD 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.
