85330A Multiple Channel Controller

General Information

Installing the Detachable Power Cord

Install the instrument so that the detachable power cord is readily
identifiable and is easily reached by the operator. The detachable power cord
is the instrument disconnecting device. It disconnects the mains circuits
from the mains supply. The front panel switch is only a standby switch and
is not a LINE switch. Alternatively, an externally installed switch or circuit
breaker (which is readily identifiable and is easily reached by the operator)
may be used as a disconnective device.

Manual Operation

Front panel softkeys allow you to:

View or change the 85330A’s GPIB address.

Close any switch in the system (select a channel).

Change the TTL state of AUX 1 or AUX 2.

View the revision of the downloaded driver.

Perform service functions.

Refer to

Chapter 5, “Manual Operation,”

for more information.

Automated Operation

During automated operation, the 85330A can control switches in two ways:

Direct Control

The 85330A can directly control switch states
and issue triggers using GPIB commands.

Run Time
Mode

Using GPIB commands, the 85330A
can be set up for a specific measurement sequence,

then automatically execute that measurement
(run-time mode).
