1.2 iX and i Model Differences

The iX models offer additional features and functions over the i models. Some of the features available
on the iX models such as the GPIB interface may be added as an option to the i models at the time of
order. Other features are exclusive to the iX models.

Both models are based on the same AC power source hardware platform and share many common
components. The differences are primarily in configuration and options. This manual covers both
models. Some menus and screen shown in this manual may not apply to i model AC sources.

All 751i/iX and 1501i/iX models are equipped with a USB interface. The iX models also include a GPIB
interface. The GPIB interface can be specified as an option on the i models at the time of order. An
optional Ethernet interface (-LAN) is available on the iX models.
