Page 4: Introduction
INTRODUCTION The internal factory installed General Purpose Interface Bus (GPIB) allows operation of the Z Power Supply from a computer via IEEE-488. The interface allows the user complete remote control of the Power Supply, including output voltage and current setting and monitoring, protection setting, trigger, waveform list operation, Power Supply status and SRQ reporting. -
Page 5: Chapter 2: Connection
CHAPTER 2: CONNECTION This section provides information on variable IEEE (GPIB) connection modes, communication cables and selecting communication parameters for operation via IEEE (GPIB) interface. It is possible connect to IEEE (GPIB) interface in two ways. 2.1 Point to Point One IEEE Interface can control only one Z Power Supply. -
Page 6: Chapter 3: Configuration
CHAPTER 3: CONFIGURATION 3.1 Configuration the IEEE Controller A typical IEEE controller is a personal computer with an IEEE interface card. Each card vendor supplies its own configuration instructions and interface software. Each time the software is executed, the controller is configured as follows: Controller Address = Power Supply address. -
