A.1.1 SOFT FRONT PANEL OVERVIEW
The soft front panel may be executed by clicking on the icon in the VXIPNP group or by running
‘kptmavxi.exe’. It provides a means of checking out your Kepco power supply system as soon
as you plug in the TMA VXI-27 controller and connect your Kepco power supplies to it.
A.1.2 SOFT FRONT PANEL CONTROLS
A.1.2.1 Init
The Init control allows selection of a Kepco TMA VXI-27 power supply controller, if more than 1
controller is present. If only one is present it will automatically be selected. If no controllers are
present a message will appear and the function should be canceled.

The Channel control is used to select the power supply to which subsequent commands shall
be applied.

The Voltage control is used to set the value of output voltage to which the power supply shall be
programmed. If AutoExecute is set to the ON position, the command is issued immediately, oth-
erwise the execute button must be pressed to apply the new value.
A.1.2.4 Current
The Current control is used to set the value of output current to which the power supply shall be

The Mode control selects which mode of operation, constant voltage or constant current, the
power supply should operate in. If the selected mode is not possible, because of the load value,
