Fig. 52 IEEE488 bus interface -1- in combination with
RS-232 REAR interface -2-.
Installation of the interfaces
The interface is built into the rear side of the device. It can be already
installed in a device on delivery.
Only Regatron can retrofit this interface.
Combination with other interfaces
It is not possible to operate an active IEE488 interface and the
RS-232 interface at the same time.
Combination with other interfaces is not possible.
Technical characteristics
Type of bus connection: socket, Centronics 24-pin
SCPI command set: standard IEEE488.2
expanded with TopCon control commands
Function
Using commercially available Centronics connectors and the IEEE488
interface, TopCon power supplies can be operated independently. During
this process specific TopCon control commands are interpreted and
executed on the interface board.
Using the IEEE488.2 standard SCPI command set, straightforward
connection to other network devices, instrumentation and electrical devices
with support for the interface is possible.
You will find further information in the instructions supplied with the
order.
