Configuring for Remote Programming, Sensing, and Monitoring
This section lists switch, connector, and jumper functions for the power supply.
Subsequently, it provides a location diagram, gives procedures for resetting the
internal jumpers and switches, and covers reconfiguring or making connections to
the J3 connector.
You will find remote programming procedures and diagrams covered in more detail

Front Panel REM/LOC Switch You can use the REM/LOC (Remote/Local
Programming,
Monitoring, Programming) switch for remote programming. When set to REM (Remote
Programming), control of BOTH output voltage AND current limit is passed to
and Control
external voltage and/or current sources which are connected to the J3 connector.
Functions
