4.2.9 CONFIGURATION Menu
The configuration menu may be used to configure various aspects of the instrument such as the serial
port, IEEE-488/GPIB address and the power-on settings of the supply.
ENTRY
DESCRIPTION
ADDRESS
0 - 31
Sets the selected IEEE / GPIB bus address for
the optional IEEE/GPIB interface.
Factory default is address 1. The shuttle knob
or the keypad can be used to set a value from
0 through 31. Do not use address 0 as this
address is typically reserved for the GPIB
controller.
BAUD RATE
9600
19200
38400
57600
115200
230400
460800
Sets the baud rate for the USB and/or LAN
(Ethernet) communications port. Factory
default is 460800 baud. Available settings are
38400 through 460800 baud.
Note: For USB and LAN use, you must set the
baud rate to 460800. The shuttle knob can be
used to scroll through these selections.
PON STATE
REG0
RST
Determined power on state. This setting
selects either non-volatile REG0 to be recalled
automatically at power-on or factory default
(RST). Factory default is RST, which recalls
the factory settings.
Note that to use REG0 for power-on default,
the contents of the register must be
programmed first. See section 4.2.8. If an
empty register is selected, the power source
will revert back to RST (factory setting).
CONTROL
MAST
AUX
This is an information-only field that displays
the controller operation mode. For a single
stand-alone iX unit, the mode is always MAST
(Master).
Alternatively, the auxiliary mode may be
detected if the system interface cable at the
rear panel is plugged in and connected to
another i/iX unit. In AUX mode, the AC source
is controlled by another unit (Master unit). The
controller will be disabled and has no control
over the amplifiers, the measurements or any
other function. A message will be displayed at
