Menu” is located within the “Unit Configuration Menu (see 6.3.Unit Configuration). See A.7.3:
Remote Control Configuration Menu for more information regarding the “Remote Control
Configuration Menu” navigation.
1) From the “Unit Configuration Menu” rotate the current encoder until the display shows
“CFg” “rmt”, and then press the voltage encoder switch to enter the “Remote Control
Configuration Menu”.
2) From the “Remote Control Configuration Menu” rotate the current encoder until the
display shows “rmt” “I.SEt”. Then press the voltage encoder switch to view and change
the source of the current setting in remote mode.
3) The source of the current setting in remote mode is indicated by “I.SEt” on the top
display and the selected source on the bottom display. The SET lamp is blinking on
and off to indicate that a setting is displayed. Rotate the current encoder to change the
selected source. Select “HOSt” as the source if the current setting will come from the
serial host port when the power supply is in remote mode. Select “OPt” if the source of
the current setting will come from an analog input connected to an option card when the
power supply is in remote mode. Once the desired source is selected press the voltage
encoder switch to accept the value and return to the “Remote Control Configuration
Menu”.
4) From the “Remote Control Configuration Menu” rotate the current encoder until the
display shows “rmt” “E.SEt”. Then press the voltage encoder switch to view and change
the source of the voltage setting in remote mode.
5) The source of the voltage setting in remote mode is indicated by “E.SEt” on the top
display and the selected source on the bottom display. The SET lamp is blinking on
and off to indicate that a setting is displayed. Rotate the current encoder to change the
selected source. Select “HOSt” as the source if the voltage setting will come from the
serial host port when the power supply is in remote mode. Select “OPt” if the source of
the voltage setting will come from an analog input connected to an option card when the
power supply is in remote mode. Once the desired source is selected press the voltage
encoder switch to accept the value and return to the “Remote Control Configuration
Menu”.
6) From the “Remote Control Configuration Menu” rotate the current encoder until the
display shows “rmt” “End”. Then press the voltage encoder switch to exit the “Remote
Control Configuration Menu” and return to the “Unit Configuration Menu”.
7) If any settings were changed you will be prompted to store the changes. Select “yES”
to accept the changes or “no” to cancel the changes.
NOTE: If the source is set to “HOSt” the setting remains unchanged when switching from local to
remote mode until a setting change is received on the host serial port. If the source is set to “OPt”
the setting reflects the associated analog input signal level when switching from local to remote
mode. This fact can be useful when it is desired to control only one signal (current or voltage) with
an analog input and set the other signal to a fixed value. This can be accomplished by setting the
signal to be controlled by the analog input to “OPt” and the signal that is to be a fixed value to
“HOSt”. When the supply is in local mode (RMT lamp off) the fixed value signal can be set to any
value by pressing the associated encoder switch from the meter display. When the supply is
switched to remote mode (RMT lamp on) the fixed signal will remain at the value set when the
supply was in local control mode, the analog controlled signal will follow the associated analog
input.
