12.1 Accessories and options
Note: Details about options and accessories are avaible in
seperate user instruction manuals.
Following accessories are optionally available:
a) USB-to-Analogue interface UTA12
Galvanically isolated remote control via USB (on PC side) and
the device internal analogue interface.
b) Digital interface cards
Pluggable and retrottable, digital interface cards for USB,
RS232, CAN, GPIB/IEEE (SCPI only), Probus or Ethernet/
LAN (SCPI only) are available. Details about the interfaces can
be found in the interface cards user manual.
Following options are available:
a) High Speed Ramping
Increased dynamics of the output voltage by reduced output
capacity. It must be pointed out, that other output related va-
lues also increase! This is a permanent modication which is
not switchable.
b) Internal, active load with car ignition sequence
This internal module, also called two-quadrants module, offers
a power sink up to 150W continuous or approx. 2400W pulse
peak. The main purpose is to discharge the device‘s output
capacities faster than usual and thus to increase the dynamic
behaviour of the output voltage, without worsen other output
values. A second feature is the built-in car ignition sequence
emulation which can be triggered by a button or remote signal.
This is primarily used in the automotive industry. The module
can be deactivated by a switch.
This option is available for models from 1000W nominal power
and up to 400V nominal voltage.
12.2 Firmware update
A rmware update of the device should only be done if the
device shows erroneous behaviour or if new features have
been implemented.
In order to update a device, it requires a certain digital inter-
face card, a new rmware le and a Windows software called
„Update tool“.
These interfaces are qualied to be used for a rmware update:
• IF-U1 (USB)
• IF-R1 (RS232)
• IF-E1 (Ethernet/USB)
• IF-PB1 (Probus/USB)
In case none of the above interface types is at hand, the device
can not be updated. Please contact your dealer for a solution.
The update tool and the particular rmware le for your device
are obtainable from the website of the device manufacturer, or
are mailed upod request. The update too will guide the user
through the semi-automatic update process.
