The power supply can be programmed from a remote terminal using a
GPIB interface. Communication over the GPIB interface meets IEEE
488.2 standards and are Standard Commands for Programmable
Instrumentation (SCPI) compliant.
The GPIB interface of the XG 850 Watt Series Programmable DC Power
Supply has been implemented according to IEEE Std 488.1-1987, IEEE
Standard Digital Interface for Programmable Instrumentation. The
communication protocol complies with IEEE 488.2-1992.
The GPIB interface is an 8-bit parallel data bus having a host of bus
commands for synchronization and up to one megabyte data transfer rate.
Use standard IEEE-488, 26 AWG GPIB cable up to 3 metres in length.
The GPIB port is a special GPIB female connector. See Figure 1-1.
