Operating the Power Supply Locally 3
Series N5700 User’s Guide 43
The J1 connector also provides monitoring signals for the output
voltage and output current. The programming range and monitoring
signal range can be selected using the SW1 setup switch.
NOTE
With analog programming enabled, you cannot program the output voltage or
current using the front panel knobs or the remote interface. However, you can
read back output voltage or current from the front panel or the remote interface.
Analog Programming Control Terminals
J1 connector pin 8 accepts a TTL signal or an open/short contact
switch (referenced to pin 12) to select between Local or Analog
programming of the output voltage and current. This function is
enabled or disabled by SW1 setup switches 1 and 2.
J1 connector pin 21 is an open collector output that indicates if the
power supply is in Local mode or in Analog mode. To use this output,
connect a pull-up resistor to a voltage source of 30 VDC maximum.
Choose the pull-up resistor so that the sink current will be less than
5mA when the output is in low state.

Voltage Programming of Output Voltage and Current
CAUTION
To maintain the isolation of the power supply and prevent ground loops, use an
isolated programming source when operating the unit using analog programming.
Voltage programming sources of 0 - 5 V or 0 - 10 V can be used to
program the output voltage and current limit from zero to full scale.
Set the power supply to analog voltage programming as follows:
• Make sure that the power supply is turned off.
• Set SW1 setup switch 1 (for voltage) and 2 (for current) to
the Up position.
• Set SW1 setup switch 3 to select programming voltage range
according to the following table.
• Make sure that SW1 setup switches 7 and 8 are set Down.
• Connect a short between J1 pin 8 and J1 pin 12 (see figure).
• Connect the programming source to the mating plug of J1 as
shown in the following figure. Observe the correct polarity
for the voltage source.
