Basic Setup Procedure
This procedure can be used as a quick reference for those familiar with the
configuration requirements for the GPIB interface as installed in the DC power
supply. For those who want more information, each step refers to more detailed
procedures located in subsequent sections. Execute each step of the procedure in the
sequence given.

This text uses National Instruments' IBIC (Interface Bus Interactive Control) program commands
developed for their GPIB interface for computer controllers as examples only.
Action
Use GPIB interface rear panel switches
A1 to A5 to select a unique primary
address. Setting the address identifies
the power supply to the computer
controller in a GPIB system.
Use the rear panel SRQ switch to select
the state of the Power ON Service
Request
Use the rear panel PON REM switch to
select remote or local startup of the
power supply.
Connect the IEEE-488 bus to the supply
at connector J8.
Power on the unit. Before proceeding,
check to ensure that the green REM
LED on the front panel is on.
Configure the controller to match the
power supply identification and
characteristics using one of the available
programs.
Test the link by communicating with the
power supply.

One such program is IBCONF
(Interface Bus Configuration) from
National Instruments. This program
is used here as an example only.
Example: VSET2;ISET1
This command string sets power
supply voltage to 2V and its current
limit to 1A.
Example: ibwrt "vset2;iset1" As
above, using IBIC. *
