6. Establish communication.
7. Test the communication interface by issuing the *IDN? Command.
This returns the supply’s model and serial numbers, and software
version(s), as well as the last calibration date, and does not affect the
output of the supply. (If using SGI, navigate to the INFO page of the
SGI unit’s front panel display to verify).
3.3 IEEE 488.2 GPIB SETUP PROCEDURE
1. Set the rear panel Local/Remote switch to Remote (On or 1).
2. SGA: select the GPIB address using the rear panel DIP switches.
SGI: set the GPIB address via the front panel menu (Refer to SGI
Operation manual).
3. Connect GPIB cable from the controlling computer to the power
supply.
NOTE: If operating in an inherently noisy environment, e.g., high RF
or other radiated emissions, a double-shielded GPIB cable is
recommended.
4. Connect power to the unit and turn on the unit.
5. Using a GPIB communication software, test the communication
interface by issuing the *IDN? Command. This returns the supply’s
model and serial numbers, and software version(s), as well as the last
calibration date, and does not affect the output of the supply. (If using
SGI, navigate to the INFO page of the SGI unit’s front panel display to
verify).
