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
Sets the baud rate for the RS232C serial
communications port.
Factory default is 38400 baud. Available
settings are 9600 through 115200 baud. 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 unit (Master
unit). The controller will be disabled and has
no control over the amplifiers, the
measurements or any other function. A
