GPIB address
Each device on the GPIB (IEEE- 488) interface must have a
unique address. You can set the power supply’s address to
any value between 0 and 30. The current address is
displayed momentarily on the front panel when you turn on
the power supply. The address is set to 05 when the power
supply is shipped from the factory.
The GPIB address can be set from the front- panel only.
• The address is stored in non- volatile memory, and does
not change when power has been off or after a remote
interface reset.
• Your GPIB bus controller has its own address. Be sure to
avoid the bus controller’s address for any instrument on
the interface bus. Agilent controllers generally use address
21.
Baud rate selection (RS-232)
You can select one of six baud rates for RS- 232 operation.
The rate is set to 9600 baud when the power supply is
shipped from the factory.
The baud rate can be set from the front- panel only.
• Select one of the following: 300, 600, 1200, 2400, 4800,
9600 baud. The factory- setting is 9600 baud.
• The baud rate selection is stored in non- volatile memory,
and does not change when power has been off or after a
remote interface reset.

connecting the power supply to a computer over the RS-232 interface.
