Operation
Once the power supplies have been configured and connected, you may power them
on.
Power supplies controlled via multichannel have full capabilities, including
changing REM/LCL modes and calibration.
Any power supply may send multichannel commands, if they are connected to a PC
via RS-232 or GPIB.
A power supply will attempt to connect to the network:
• on power up, and
• when the multichannel address is changed.
