Digital Remote
Control |
|
|
To meet the varying needs of todays
engineers, a comprehensive array of interfaces is provided.
RS-232, USB, GPIB and LAN (Ethernet) with LXI support are provided as
standard.
Each of the digital bus interfaces provides
full control of voltage, current, and output on/off, plus
read-back of voltage, current and status. The interfaces
are opto-isolated from the output. |
|
Command Set and
IVI Driver |
|
|
The basic command set for the CPX400SP and DP is compatible with both the PL-P series and the QL-P series.
An IVI driver for Windows is supplied. This
provides support for common applications such as LabView*,
LabWindows* and HP-VEE*. |
|
RS-232 |
|
|
An RS-232/RS-423 interface is provided for
use with legacy systems. This type of serial interface remains
in common useage and is perfectly satisfactory for the control
of power supplies because data speed is not an issue. |
|
USB |
|
|
USB provides a simple and convenient means
of connection to a PC and is particularly appropriate for small
system use.
A USB driver is provided suitable for
Windows* systems. |
|
GPIB |
|
|
The GPIB interface conforms with IEEE-488.1
and IEEE-488.2.
GPIB remains the most widely used interface
in larger system applications. |
|
LAN-Ethernet with
LXI |
|
|
The LAN interface uses a standard 10/100
base-T Ethernet hardware connection with ICMP and TCP/IP
Protocol for connection to a Local Area Network or direct
connection to a single PC.
This interface supports LXI and is the most
appropriate for larger system use because of its scalable
nature.
LXI Compliance
The LAN interface is compliant with LXI-C.
LXI is the next-generation, LAN-based modular architecture
standard for automated test systems managed by the LXI
Consortium, and is expected to become the successor to GPIB in
many systems.

Instrumentation)
