Section 4. Remote Operation

Introduction

The switches and connector on the rear panel of the power supply allow you to program the supply with an analog device or to readback analog signals.

Remote

You can operate the power supply from a computer if you have the optional GPIB or

Digital

RS-232 interface card installed. Refer to the separate interface manual for all setup

Programming

and operation instructions for remote digital programming.

Remote Analog Programming of Output Voltage and Current Limit

Remote analog programming allows control of the power supply’s output voltage and output current limit to shift from local operation at the front panel voltage and current controls to external analog input sources. As you vary the programming source, the power supply’s output varies proportionally over its output range.

Using remote analog programming requires that you make connections to the J210 connector on the power supply’s rear panel. See “Rear Panel J210 Connector” on page 15. To reduce radiated emissions, add a ferrite block to the wires that go to the J210 connector. The 1 inch square ferrite block with built in housing clip is packaged and shipped with the power supply.
