    8.7 Global Output Commands 8.7.1 Description Global commands are a way to quickly set all power supplies on the RS-232/RS-485 digital communication bus to the same setting. For example, sending “GOUT OFF” is one way to turn a whole group of supplies OFF at nearly the same time. CAUTION After sending a global command, it is important that the controller wait 200milliseconds before sending any more RS-232/RS-485 messages.

    8.10 Status, Error, and SRQ Registers 8.10.1 General Description This Section describes the structure and operation of the six status, error, and SRQ registers. The registers can be set or read via the RS-232/RS-485 commands. The Status and Error Registers Diagram below is a summary of the register tree and the commands to read their contents or to enable latching any momentary events.

    4-20 mA ISOLATED ANALOG PROGRAMMING OPTION 9.1 Introduction The 4-20mA Isolated Analog is an option for Remote Analog Programming and monitoring of the Genesys Power Supply series. The option is factory installed and cannot be installed with LAN or IEMD Interfaces. Output voltage and current can be programmed and read back through optically isolated signals which are isolated from all other ground references in the power supply.
