Remote Operation

GPIB Operation

SCPI

To set up GPIB control parameters:

SYST:COMM:GPIB:ADDR <GPIB-address>

where

•the GPIB address may be in the range 1 to 30.

To configure the unit to generate a power-on service request:

SYST:COMM:GPIB:PONS {ON OFF}

To select GPIB as the remote control source:

SYST:REM:SOUR GPIB

Using GPIB Sending a GPIB command should put the power supply in remote mode with the RMT annunciator lit.

Refer to the manual for your GPIB interface card. Commands to change remote and local mode will be specific to that card.

Press the LCL/RMT button to return to local mode, except if the power supply is in LLO (local lockout) state.
