Power Supply Operation

The REMOTE SELECT menu option allows you to select an interface for remote control. Before selecting a remote control source, be sure to set up each interface using the Remote Configure menu. See “Configure Remote Control Source” on page 76

Remote control sources are listed here along with their respective programming interfaces:

•RS–232

• Analog V & I: Voltage and current programmed via the analog interface

•Analog V: Voltage programmed via the analog interface; current programmed via front panel

•Analog I: Current programmed via the analog interface; voltage programmed via front panel

•GPIB

•Multichnl: multichannel operation using the optional CANbus interface between units (only available for 6000 Watt units)

To change the remote control source:

	Step #	Do This	You Will See
	1	MENU	ERROR MSGS
		MENU

	2	4 times	REMOTE SELECT
	3	ENTER	RS-232
		ENTER

	4	or	The options are RS-232, Analog V &
			I, Analog V, Analog I, GPIB, and RMT
		Press repeatedly until the desired	linked.
		remote control source appears.
	5	ENTER	The setting is saved and the display
	5	ENTER	returns to its default operating mode.
			returns to its default operating mode.

If you change the remote setting to GPIB, the next time you shift from local to remote control, the unit will shift to GPIB control.
