8. Miscellanuous Options
8.1 IEEE488 Interface (-GPIB)
The GPIB interface is available on all iX Series models. It is also available as a factory installed option
on the “i” Series. The operation of the GPIB interface is the same on both “i” and “iX”series models.
For details on operation of the GPIB interface and programming command syntax, refer to the
Compact i/iX Series Programming manual, CI P/N 6005-961 provided in PDF format on CD ROM
CIC496.
8.2 Atlas Based Language Extensions (-ABL)
All Compact i/iX series model support the IEEE SCPI (Standard Commands for Programmable
Instruments) command language syntax for programming over the bus. (USB, GPIB or LAN). The
–
ABL option provides backward compatability with programs written for certain older products from
other manufacturers.
For details on use the Atlas style syntax, refer to the Compact i/iX Series Programming manual, CI P/N
6005-961 provided in PDF format on CD ROM CIC496.
8.3 Ethernet Interface (-LAN)
The Ethernet interface is available as a factory installed option on the Compact iX Series models.

8.4 Clock and Lock (
–LKM / -LKS)
The –LKM and –LKS options are available on the iX Series AC power source models. This option
allows one or more auxiliary unit outputs to be phase synchronized to a master iX unit. In this
configuration, the power level of each model may be different
– e.g. a 751iX auxiliary can be locked to
a 1501iX master unit – but the output of units that are locked together cannot be paralleled to obtain
more current.
The Clock and Lock mode is provided for the creation of split phase or three phase systems.
For connection and operation information of the Clock and Lock mode, refer to section 3.10 of this user
manual.
8.5 Rack Mount Supports
For mounting the 751i/iX or 1501i/iX in a 19-inch instrument cabinet, it is recommended to use rack-
slides (for Series II) to provide adequate support for the power source weight. When using a cabinet
not supplied by AMETEK Programmable Power, contact the cabinet vendor for shelf or bracket
accessories designed to support the weight of an instrument.
Note: The Compact i/iX series power models cannot be mounting in a cabinet by just using
the front panel rack ears and without using additional supports.
