5.0 INTERFACING USING THE REMOTE INTERFACE SOFTWARE

The Remote Interface Software is shipped with XR Series power supplies. The software provides

the user with a quick method to operate a Magna-Power Electronics’ power supply under

computer control. The Remote Interface Software has six windows: the Virtual Control Panel,

Command Panel, Register Panel, Calibration Panel, Firmware Panel, and Modulation Panel. The

Virtual Control Panel emulates the front panel of the XR Series power supply, the Command

panel programs and reads SCPI commands with user friendly buttons, the Register Panel

programs and reads registers, the Calibration Panel enables calibration of the digital

potentiometers, the Firmware Panel enables the program stored internal to the power supply to be

upgraded, and the Modulation Panel eases programming of modulation parameters.

5.1 Application Setup

To communicate with the power supply, the front panel version, type of communication, address

and/or port need to be specified. The options are:

1. Power supply series: select XR Version for XR or XRC Series power supplies,

2. Communications interface: RS232, RS485, optional GPIB (IEEE-488), optional

TCP/IP (Ethernet), simulated, or others depending on future developments. Figure

5.1 displays the Applications Setup Window. Address requirements are:

a. RS232: port.

b. RS485: address and port, 1-30.

c. IEEE-488: address, 1-30.

d. Ethernet: address and port.

Figure 5.2 illustrates the communications setup for GPIB communications. The address specifies

the desired device on the bus to establish communications. To locate a particular device or to set

a new address, press Find Device or Change Device’s setting, respectively. The Find Devices

panel displays all devices on the bus that are available for communications. The Change Device’s

Setting allows the address of the particular device to be changed. When changing a device’s

address, the address in the Communication Setup will also change allowing continued

communications. These panels are illustrated in figure 5.3. Similar panels are displayed for

Ethernet, RS232, and RS485 communications.

5.2 Virtual Control Panel

Figure 5.4 illustrates the Virtual Control Panel for XR Panel and C Panel models. The Virtual

Control Panel emulates front panel commands and provides the means to control C Version

models.
