3.10.1 Configuration settings
Units configured with the
–LKM option will show the Clock as INT (internal) and the mode as CLK/LOC
on the CONTROL screen. Units configured with the
–LKS option can be set to INT (internal) or EXT
(external) clock from the CONTROL screen. The MODE setting on the CONTROL screen of the
–LKS
unit determines the power on state for the clock setting. When set to STAN (Stand-alone operation),
the unit powers up with INT clock. When set to CLK/LOC mode, it powers up in EXT clock mode
suitable to clock and lock system operation. See section 4.2.5 for details.
3.10.2 Frequency measurements on
–LKS units
AC power source models configured with the
–LKS option used in a clock and lock configuration may
not accurately measure frequency if the programmed frequency of the master unit (-LKM) is
significantly different from the frequency setting of the auxiliary unit (
–LKS). Setting the –LKS
programmed frequency when it is operating as a clock and lock auxiliary does not affect its actual
output frequency as it is controlled by the
–LKM master unit. The frequency setting provides the
auxiliary controller with the required information to accurately measure the frequency.
3.11 Remote Control Interfaces
Setup and connection information on setting up remote control using either GPIB, USB or LAN
interfaces is provided in the iX Series Programming Manual P/N 6005-961. This manual is distributed
on the same CD ROM (P/N CIC496) as this user manual. It can also be downloaded from the
AMETEK Programmable Power website
Connector pin out information is provided in sections 3.7.6, 3.7.7 and 3.7.8 of this manual.
Note: Use of the USB port to control more than one power source from a single PC is not
recommended, as communication may not be reliable. Use GPIB interface for multiple
power source control.
