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 left knob
(Voltage) can be used to scroll through the 0
through 31 address range. 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 RS232C serial
communications port. The same setting applies to
the internal baud rate used to interface with the
USB and LAN interface of the power source.
Factory default is 38400 baud. Available settings
are 9600 through 460800 baud for RS232C.
Note: For USB use, you must set the baud rate to
460800. For LAN use, any baud rate can be used
but 460800 is recommended.
Either shuttle knob can be used to scroll through
these selections.

POWER ON

REG0
RST

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

MASTER
AUX

This is an information-only field that displays the
controller operation mode. For a single stand-alone
Lx/Ls unit, the mode is always MASTER.
Alternatively, the auxiliary mode may be detected if
the system interface cable at the rear panel is
plugged in and connected to another Lx/Ls unit. In
AUX mode, the AC source is controlled by another
