Remote Control Modes
The power supply must be in remote mode to execute commands. The remote mode
is indicated by the front panel remote status LED. A power supply will respond to
queries when in local mode, but will generate an error when a command is received.
GPIB equipped supplies will automatically transition from local to remote mode when
any command data is received. CANbus-only supplies may have to be put into remote
mode with a command before sending any other command. See
“Change
Remote/Local Mode” on page 48 .
The factory default power-on settings are given in Table 3.1, on page 46 .
Table 3.1 Power Supply Factory Defaults
You can change the default Remote/Local state, see “Power On Remote State” on page
49 .
If safety is an issue because the front panel control knobs may be set to hazardous
voltages at power on, contact the factory to order locking bushings for the knobs.
See your power supply’s operating manual for details on using the power supply in
local mode.
