Using the Web Interface
HAZARDOUS VOLTAGES All models generate voltages in excess of 60 VDC, with some
models rated at up to 1,500 VDC! Ensure that all instrument connections, load wiring,
and load connections are either insulated or covered so that no accidental contact
with lethal output voltages can occur.
Your power supply has a built-in Web interface that lets you control it directly from the Web browser on your computer.
With the Web interface, you can access the front panel control functions including the LAN configuration parameters.
Up to six simultaneous connections are allowed. With multiple connections, performance will be reduced.
The built-in Web interface only operates over the LAN. It requires Internet Explorer 7+. You also
need the Java Plug-in version 7+. This is included in the Java Runtime Environment.
