GPIB
Overview
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.
Codes and Standards
The GPIB interface of the XTR 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.
GPIB Interface Description and Required Cable Size
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.
GPIB Pin Description
The GPIB port is a special GPIB female connector. See Figure 1-1.
