3.3.2 ADDITIONAL FUNCTIONS NOT AVAILABLE FROM THE FRONT PANEL
Some additional functions are described in the KLP Developer’s Guide that are not available
from the front panel:
• Storage of User-programmed Active Settings - 40 memory locations are available to
store and recall active settings of the power supply. The active setting include voltage,
current, protection limits, and output state (ON or OFF) This feature may be also
accessed using the web interface (E-Series models only, see PAR. 3.3.6.6.3).
• User-determined output Sequences - Up to 100 memory locations are available for pro-
gramming the KLP output using multiple command sequences that can be initiated by a
single LIST command (see KLP Developer’s Guide). This feature may be also accessed
using the web interface (E-Series models only, see PAR. 3.3.6.6.5).
• External Triggering - If external trigger mode is selected, grounding the EXT_TRG line
(J2 pin 14 to pin 9, 11, 13 or 15) allows SCPI commands to change the output of the
power supply. Refer to the KLP Developer’s Guide for details on the use of triggering.
Kepco provides three instrument drivers, IVI-COM, LabView G and VXI plug&play which sim-
plify programming of the KLP power supply via the digital interfaces. These drivers are
described in the KLP Developer’s Guide and can be downloaded from the Kepco web site at:

3.3.3 REMOTE PROGRAMMING USING THE IVI-COM INSTRUMENT DRIVER
The IVI-COM driver for KLP is available for download at www.kepcopower.com/drivers. Exam-
ples are provided in the KLP Developer’s Guide.
3.3.4 REMOTE PROGRAMMING USING THE LABVIEW G INSTRUMENT DRIVER
The LabView G driver for KLP, available for download at www.kepcopower.com/drivers, includes
a LabView G demonstration program that greatly simplifies programming the unit with a Win-
dows™ compatible computer. After running a setup, a “soft” front panel is visible on the com-
puter monitor that allows all the functionality of the local front panel. The LabView G soft front
panel controls are explained in the KLP Developer’s Guide.
3.3.5 REMOTE PROGRAMMING USING THE VXI plug&play INSTRUMENT DRIVER
The VXI plug&play driver for KLP, available for download at www.kepcopower.com, includes a
demonstration program that greatly simplifies programming the unit via the GPIB or RS 232
ports with a Windows™ compatible computer. After running a setup, a “soft” front panel is visible
on the computer monitor that allows all the functionality of the local front panel. The VXI
plug&play soft front panel controls are explained in the KLP Developer’s Guide.
3.3.6 REMOTE PROGRAMMING USING THE WEB INTERFACE [E-SERIES MODELS ONLY]
Remote programming of the KLP via the LAN port can be accomplished using a standard web
browser connected to the internet. The factory default LAN settings of the KLP are DCHP on,
AUTOIP on. When source power is applied to the power supply (e.g., circuit breaker switched
on), it first tries to find a DCHP server and get an IP address; during this time the LAN indicator
continues to blink. If a server is found and an address assigned, the LAN indicator stays on with-
out blinking.
If the server is not found after approximately 10 seconds, or if DHCP has been disabled, the unit
will use AUTOIP to get an address; if an IP address is found, the LAN indicator stays on without
