24. Connect the Elgar cable 890-499-00 between the master “M/S OUT” and the slave

“M/S IN” connectors.

25. Connect the load wiring as shown in Figure 3–11 above.

26. Power up both CW units simultaneously.

27. Control the master/slave pair by controlling the CW master via the front panel or

its command interface.

Setup 1-Phase Master/Slave Pair Using Remote Command Interface

The CW master/slave attributes can be controlled using the GPIB/RS-232 command
interface instead of using the front panel menu system. When adjusting the parameters
in this manner, the CW voltage sourcing commands must not be controlled through the
command interface of a slaved unit.

1. Setting the A Phase Master configuration parameter via the command interface:

• SYST:SLAVECONFIG A0A1 Specifies that this A phase master has only one slave

• SYST:SLAVECONFIG A0B1 Specifies that this A phase master has a B phase

slave and each unit has a slave for a total of 4 CW units.

• SYST:SLAVECONFIG A0C1 Specifies that this A phase master has a B phase

slave and a C phase slave and each unit has a slave for a total of 6 CW units.

• SYST:SLAVECONFIG? Returns the present parameter setting

Note: The SLAVECONFIG parameter only applies if the SLAVEADDR is set to 0
and the SLAVECHAN is set to A on the A master unit. Only the A phase master uses
this parameter.

2. Setting the Slave address parameter via the command interface:

• SYST:SLAVEADDR 0 Specifies that this CW is the top unit for A,B or C phases

• SYST:SLAVEADDR? Returns the present address parameter

3. Setting the Slave phase parameter via the command interface:

• SYST:SLAVECHAN A Specifies that this CW is in the A channel, either the master

or a slave.

• SYST:SLAVECHAN B Specifies that this CW is in the B channel and,

by definition, a slave.

• SYST:SLAVECHAN C Specifies that this CW is in the C channel and,

by definition, a slave.

• SYST:SLAVECHAN? Returns the present phase assignment set
