3.4.2 USB Interface Use
Note that the power source will be detected automatically when turn on or plugged in once
the drivers have been installed. It is recommended however to close any open USB
connections to the AC source before turning it off.
To use the USB interface, you may use the Gui Windows software supplied with the power
source or develop your own application code. In either case, set the baud rate on the power
source to 460,800 in the Configuration menu. From the Front panel, press MENU key, scroll
to CONFIGURATION and press ENTER key. Select BAUDRATE field and scroll to 460800.
For use with the Gui program, select the “USB / RS232C Serial” interface type and set the
Baud rate to 460800.

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.
