CONNECTOR

Address Selection

7.2.1
GPIB address for unit can be (1-30). SCPI reserves channel 0 as the global channel
to address all channels.
Asterion DC power supply's GPIB address can be configured by using the front panel
menu, Refer to Figure 7-2. To navigate to GPIB screen, go to Home  Control
Interface  GPIB.

Power-On GPIB Service Request (PON SRQ) Selection

7.2.2
PON SRQ can be enable using the front panel menu, see Figure 7-2. When PON SRQ
is enabled, a GPIB service request will be sent by the power supply to the computer
controller on Power ON.

Shield Ground

7.2.3
Connects GPIB cable shield to chassis ground.

IEEE 488.2 GPIB Setup Procedure

7.2.4
1. Set the rear panel Local/Remote switch to Remote (ON).
2. Set the GPIB address via the front panel menu, see Figure 7-2.
3. Connect GPIB cable from the controlling computer to the Asterion DC power
supply's.
NOTE: If operating in an inherently noisy environment, e.g., high RF or other
radiated emissions, a double-shielded GPIB cable is recommended.
4. Connect power to the unit and turn on the unit.
5. Using a GPIB communication software, test the communication interface by
issuing the *IDN? Command. This returns the supply's model and serial numbers,
and software version(s). This command does not affect the output of the supply.
