2.5 INITIAL CHECK-OUT PROCEDURE
After the BIT 4886 card has been installed per PAR. 2.3, perform the following procedure to ver-
ify that it is functioning properly.
1. Connect the BOP-BIT 4886 Interface Card to either:
a) the GPIB bus using a standard GPIB cable connected to the BIT 4886 24-pin
GPIB connector (J1) or
b) to an external RS-232 controller with a DB9 type connector (male pins) by con-
necting the RJ45 patch cord supplied (see Table 2-1) to the BIT 4886 RS 232 port (J2), then
using the RJ45 to DB9 adapter supplied (see Table 2-1) to connect the RJ45 patch cord to
the external controller. On the RJ45 patch cord, the 6-pin connector plugs into the BIT 4886
RS 232 port, and the 8-pin connector plugs into the RJ45 to DB9 adapter (see Table 2-5 and
Figure 2-4).
2. Apply power to BOP power supply. The BOP-BIT 4886 will beep for less than 1 second, then
will be ready for use.
3. Send the
*IDN?
query via either the GPIB or RS 232 port.
Assuming the BIT 4886 card is installed in a BOP 72-6 as an example, verify that the unit
responds with KEPCO,BIT488-6 72-6,A38621 11/10/98,1.81-1.81.
If the unit responds with KEPCO,BIT488-6 200-20,A38621 10/01/98,1.81-1.81, it means that
the card was not initialized (see PAR. 4.2).
Note that date 10/01/98 is the initial calibration date performed at the factory and indicates
the card has never been calibrated by the user.
4. Send
VOLT?
Verify that unit responds with 0 (indicating voltage is set to 0, the power-up con-
dition).
5. Send
OUTPUT ON;VOLT MAX
. Verify that the BOP power supply provides maximum output
voltage (e.g., 72V d-c. for BOP 72-6).
6. Send
FUNC:MODE CURR
. Verify that BOP front panel current LED lights.
7. Send
FUNC:MODE VOLT
. Verify that BOP front panel voltage LED lights.
