Parameter

Specification

Frequency: step, sag, surge, sweep

Voltage and Frequency: step, sweep

IEEE-488 Interface:

SH1, AH1, T6, L3, SR1, RL2, DC1, DT1

IEEE 488.2 and SCPI

Response time is 10 ms (typical)

RS232C Interface:

Bi-directional serial interface
9 pin D-shell connector
Handshake:

CTS, RTS

Data bits:

7, 8

Stop bits:

1,2

Baud rate:

9600 to 115,200 bps

Syntax: IEEE 488.2 and SCPI

USB Interface:

Standard USB 2.0 peripheral.
Data transfer rate: 460,800 bps
Syntax: IEEE 488.2 and SCP.

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.

Note: Not available on older MX15 models.

LAN Interface:

Option

–LAN. When the LAN interface is installed, the RS232 interface is

disabled.

RJ45 Connector, 10BaseT, 100BaseT or 1000BaseT,
Data transfer rate: 460,800 bps
Protocol: TCP/IP.
Syntax: IEEE 488.2 and SCP
Note: Disconnect any USB connection when using the LAN interface.

Current Limit Modes:

Two selectable modes of operation:

1. Constant current mode (voltage folds back with automatic recovery)

2. Constant voltage mode with trip-off (Relays open).
