CONFIGURATION
The DIA is installed into the supply at the factory. Use the Setup Procedure described below to
configure the DIA for your system and application.
Setup Procedure
This procedure is a quick reference for the configuration requirements. Refer to Section 2.2 for
detailed information on the rear panel switches.
1. Set the rear panel Remote/Local switch to Remote (On or 1).
2. Set the rear panel Power On Service Request switch to No Service Request (Off or 0).
3. SFA - Set the GPIB address switches to the desired address.
Note: Valid GPIB addresses are 1-30.
SFI – From the Home menu page 3, press (F1) to enter the Remote menu. Select the
IEEE488 address for GPIB programming or baud rate for RS232.
4. Connect the GPIB or RS232 Interface Cable to the supply.
5. Connect power to the unit and turn on the unit.
6. Configure the controller to match the supply identification and configuration. Use one of the
available programs such as IBCONF from National Instruments for GPIB, or set the RS232
baud rate to 19200 for SFA or selected rate for SFI, 8 data bits, no parity, and 1 stop bit.
7. Test the communication interface by issuing a *IDN? Command. This returns the supply’s
model and firmware versions and does not affect the output of the supply.
