Installation and Configuration

IEEE-488 Controller Connection

ibfind GPIB0

Address the computer controller

ibcmd "?_@\x11"

Send commands (UNL, UNT, MTA0, LLO) in

 

ASCII.

ibfind "devname"

Address the unit (devname or device name as

 

configured originally with ibconf).

ibloc

Set unit to local mode.

Note: To disable Local Lockout, use the IBIC ibsre0 command in this example.

IEEE-488 Controller Connection

Use an approved IEEE-488 connector and cable when connecting the power supply’s GPIB interface to your IEEE-488 GPIB network. The IEEE-488 connector uses mating connector J8 on the rear panel of the power supply.

Internal PCB Jumper Selections

CAUTION

If you remove the unit's cover, use proper static control techniques to avoid damage to static-sensitive components on the printed circuit board.

You can select how you use OVP (over voltage protection) control and TTL shutdown by changing jumper positions on the GPIB PCB. Refer to the operating manual for information on how to use over voltage protection and TTL shutdown.

OVP Over voltage protection (OVP) on the GPIB interface is set at the factory for Selection remote software operation. When operating the power supply in remote mode, you

control the OVP trip level using the OVSET software command. If you return the power supply to local operation by using the GPIB software commands or the by the front panel LOCAL switch, control of the OVP trip level changes from software control to the front panel OVP potentiometer. The default OVP trip level is set as 110% of the power supply's rated output voltage. See Table 2.5, on page 26 for a complete list of remote power ON default settings.

You can isolate the location of OVP control by changing the positions of the Local OVP Control jumper J65 and the Remote OVP Control jumper J103. The default jumper settings allow control of OVP to depend on the operating state of the power supply. By physically changing the jumper settings, you can isolate the location of OVP control to software control only or front panel control only. Table 2.6, “OVP
