DIGITAL CONTROL OF BOP POWER SUPPLIES, PARAGRAPH 3-46 add the following:
The SN and SNR Programmers and the BIT 488 cards described in this manual are older meth-
ods of controlling BOP power supplies via digital means. Although these products still function
as described, the recommended method of digital control is now the use of Kepco's BIT 4886
16-bit plug-in card with resolution of 1/2
IEEE 488.2 bus using SCPI commands. The BIT 4886 card allows a BOP to communicate as a
stand-alone instrument, directly on the GPIB. The BIT 4886 card also allows the BOP to be pro-
grammed over the RS232C bus using either SCPI or CIIL commands via either an RS232-C
terminal, or from a PC using a terminal emulation program with a baud rate of 9600, no parity,
eight data bits and one stop bit. The downloadable BIT 4886 driver supports digital calibration
(no manual pots) and multiple control and read-back ranges, For more information refer to:
