1.2 Lx Series and Ls Series Differences
The Lx Series and Ls Series of AC power sources are both 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 for Series II. Some menus and
screen shown in this manual may not apply to Ls Series AC sources without the
–ADV option
and / or –MODE option. See section 1 for difference between Series I and Series II models. This
manual is provided for Series II models.
1.2.1 Firmware differences
The Lx Series is fully featured and supports all commands listed in the programming manual.
The Ls Series provides most basic functions in its standard configurations. More advanced
features can be added by specifying the
–ADV (advanced) option. If the –ADV option is installed,
all commands listed in this programming manual are supported. If not, commands related to
arbitrary waveforms and harmonic analysis measurements are not supported and will generate a
“-113 Syntax Error” message.
1.2.2 Hardware differences
In addition to the firmware differences described, the following hardware differences exist
between the standard Lx Ac source and the Ls AC source.
Lx has a 150V / 300 V rms output range pair. Optional ranges of 135/270 (-HV option)
and 200/400 (-EHV option) are available at time of order.
Ls has a 135 V / 270 V rms output range pair. Optional ranges of 156/312 (-HV option)
and 200/400 (-EHV option) are available at time of order.
The Lx rear panel connector labeling is compliant with the California Instruments iL
Series which it replaces and the HP/Agilent model 6834B.
The Ls rear panel connector labeling is compliant with the California Instruments L
Series.
The Lx Series II comes standard with GPIB, USB and RS232C interfaces. An optional
LAN interface (-LAN) is available.
The Ls Series II comes standard with USB and RS232C, An optional GPIB interface (-
GPIB option) and LAN interface (-LAN) is available.
Note: All interfaces use the SCPI command syntax as described in the programming
manual.
The Lx Series provides both three phase and single-phase output modes, which can be
selected from the front panel or over the bus.
The Ls Series provides either three phase (-3 models) or single phase (-1 models).
Three-phase Ls Series sources may optionally be equipped with the
–MODE option,
which provides the same phase mode switching as the Lx Series.
The Lx Series ships with a more advanced keyboard (P/N 6005-702-1) , which includes a
numeric data entry pad. This same keyboard is available as an option on the Ls Series
(Option
–KP). Customers that prefer the simplified keyboard with dual shuttles (P/N
7004-709-1) can order this on the Lx Series as option –RP.
