Section 4. Remote Operation
Remote Analog Programming of Output Voltage and Current Limit
Remote analog programming allows control of the output voltage and/or current
limit to shift from local operation at the front panel controls to external analog
sources. As you vary the external programming source, the power supply’s output
varies proportionally over its output range.
Using remote analog programming requires that you reset switches and make
connections to a connector on the rear panel. See Section 1. Features and
Specifications for information about using the rear panel switch and connector.
Remote
Programming
Options
Remote analog programming allows control of both output voltage and the current
limit. You have a choice of programming scales depending on your choice of voltage
source and resistance. You can choose a voltage source of 0-5 V or 0-10 V or a
current source using a resistance of 0-5 k or 0-10 k. You can use the programming
scales in any combination to suit your needs.
Isolated Programming The 4-channel Isolated (ISOL) Programming Interface
is an internal board which can be ordered as an option. It allows remote
programming and readback of the power supply’s output voltage and current limit
with 0-5 V analog signals at a different voltage potential relative to the power
supply's output. The ISOL interface is described in
“Using the Isolated Programming
(ISOL) Interface Option” on page 72 .
Remote Digital Programming You can operate the power supply from a
computer if you have had the GPIB or RS-232 interface board installed as an option.
Refer to the separate interface manual for all setup and operation instructions for
remote digital programming.
!
CAUTION
Ensure that you make connections to the J2 connector exactly as shown in each
procedure in this section. Incorrect J2 jumper connections may damage the
supply.
