Remote Interface Configuration
E3632A User’s Guide 53
Parity selection (RS-232)
You can select the parity for RS- 232 operation. The power
supply is configured for no parity and 8 data bits when
shipped from the factory.
The parity can be set from the front- panel only.
• Select one of the following: None (8 data bits), Even (7
data bits), or Odd (7 data bits). When you set the parity,
you are indirectly setting the number of data bits.
• The parity selection is stored in non- volatile memory, and
does not change when power has been off or after a
remote interface reset.
To set the GPIB address
To configure the power supply for the GPIB interface,
proceed as follows:
1 Turn on the remote configuration mode.
HPIB/488
You will see the above message on the front- panel display
if the power supply has not been changed from the
factory- setting. If RS-232 appears, choose HPIB/488 by
turning the knob to the right.
2 Move to the GPIB address setting mode.
ADDR 05
The address is set to 05 when the power supply is
shipped from the factory. Notice that a different GPIB
address may appear if the power supply has been changed
from the factory- setting.
3 Turn the knob to change the GPIB address.
The displayed address is changed when turning the knob
to the right or left.
