Description
The internal GPIB interface card allows you to operate your power supply from a
computer controller via the IEEE-488 communications bus. See Figure 1.1, “Sample
Configuration using GPIB Interface”.
The GPIB interface allows complete remote programming of your power supply,
including status reporting, settings query, and interrupt generation with
user-designated fault conditions. Both the voltage and current output are precisely
programmed directly in volts and amps with 16-bit resolution. Additionally, the
built-in DVM and current shunt measure the actual power supply output and provide
16-bit readback. The programming command set is easy-to-use and includes
software calibration commands. The interface card comes standard with several
protection features such as programmable over voltage protection, foldback, load
isolation signal, and soft limits.
