Remote Control Modes
TM-XDOP-01XN 3–5
Remote Control Modes
A number of control interfaces are available. You can control the power supply
remotely using 0–5V or 0–10V signals via the remote analog programming
interface or from a remote terminal using a remote digital interface. A remote
digital interface following RS-232 protocol is standard. An optional remote digital
interface following IEEE 488.2 (GPIB) protocol is also available. An optional
CANbus port is also available which enables multi-channel communication from
a single GPIB address, and supports current sharing with parallel connected units.
(For detailed information, see Chapter 4, “Remote Operation”.)
Front Panel Controls
The power supply is shipped ready to operate in local mode. The factory default
power-on setting is 0V, 0A with the DC output turned off.
This section describes the function keys, menu options, and control knobs that you
use to operate the power supply. (Additional details about the front panel keys,
control knobs, and display annunciators are provided in Chapter 1, “About The
XDC Power Supply”.)
The next section (“Power Supply Operation” on page 3–8) provides details about
configuring and operating the power supply.
Function Keys
Eight function keys are located on the front panel. Each is described below. For
the purposes of simple front panel control, you should understand the function of
the LCL/RMT, OUT ON/OFF, VOLTAGE, and CURRENT keys.
1. VOLTAGE: Lets you pre-set a setpoint before enabling it. To pre-set a
voltage setpoint, press VOLTAGE, use the Voltage knob or the numeric
keypad to enter a value, and then press ENTER to enable it. (See “Set
Voltage” on page 3–8.)
This output can be changed while the output is OFF.
2. CURRENT: Lets you pre-set a setpoint before enabling it. To pre-set a
current setpoint, press CURRENT, use the Current knob or the numeric
keypad to enter a value, and then press ENTER to enable it. (See “Set
