Menu Structure

The next few pages show a map of the available menus in the CS Series. All menus can be
reached by repeatedly pressing the Menu key. Frequently used menus have a short cut key that
provides direct access. Examples of such menus are Program and Measurements. In any case,
there are never more than two levels of menus although some menus may be spread across
more than one screen.
4.2.1 Power on screens
At initial power up, the CS Series power supply will display important configuration information in
a series of power on screens. These displays are only visible for a short period of time and will
not re-appear until the next time the unit is turned on.
There are three screens that will appear in the same order:
1. LANetwork detection... At power up, the unit will try to detect a LAN interface. If not found, a
"LAN not available" message will appear. The LAN will not be detected if:
1. No –LAN option is installed.
2. The USB port is connected to a computer.
3. The RS232 port is enabled (jumper is not installed).
This process may take several seconds.
2. Company and firmware information. Displays the manufacturer (Cal Inst., which is short for
California Instruments) and the firmware part number and revision. The firmware part
number starts with CIC followed by a three-digit code and dash number. The firmware
revision has a major revision before the decimal point and a minor revision after the decimal
point.
3. Model and Serial number information. The model will be a function of the configuration and
will include the series designation (CS). The serial number is a 5 digit number. This number
should match the model type sticker located on the back of the unit.
4. Self test result. If all internal functions pass the power-on self-test, the message "Self test
passed" will appear. If any part of the internal self-test fails, an error message will be
displayed instead. This information may be useful when calling in for service support.
Once the power on sequence is completed, the power source will always revert to the
PROGRAM screen shown here.
