Xantrex Technology XDL 35-5TP manual Fully Programmable via GPIB, RS232 or USB

Fully Programmable via GPIB, RS232 or USB

The XDL 35-5TP incorporates a full bus interface permitting remote control and readback via either GPIB (IEEE-488), RS232 or USB.

The GPIB interface conforms fully with IEEE-488.2 and IEEE-488.1.

The serial interface can be used as a conventional RS232 interface or as part of a multi- instrument addressable RS232 chain.

USB represents the future for medium speed PC connectivity. By adding USB hubs, multiple devices can be connected. A Windows device driver is supplied which creates a virtual COM port, enabling USB to be used with applications that do not directly support it.

XDL series supplies use simple and consistent command structures which make programming particularly easy regardless of which interface is used.

A National Instruments LabWindows* device driver is available.

All power supply settings can be controlled via the bus. Voltage and current can be set to a resolution of 1mV or 0·1mA. Actual voltage and current can be read back together with the power supply status.
