Hardware Inputs/Outputs General Information
3) Foldback to 30% of the current limit for
low short-circuit current.
4) Retry: when current limit is reached, the
corresponding output is shut down for
three seconds, and then restored again.
After five consecutive current limit
events, the corresponding output is shut
down.
5) Single event shut down for extra-
sensitive loads: when the current limit
value is reached, the corresponding
output is shut down.

Hardware Inputs/Outputs
The XMP 2600 includes several hardware inputs and outputs (all of them at the rear
panel of the instrument), as the following describe:
1) Mains input: a non-detachable cord supplying power to the unit.
2) Power module's outputs: each power module has it's own output connector. The
load connectors are supplied with the unit (one or two per module).
3) GPIB (IEEE-488) interface: programming and read back capability. Address
can be set via dipswitch at the rear panel.
4) RS-232 interface: programming and read back capability, as well as monitor
concise information output.
5) net interface: the internal communication link is available at the rear of the
instrument to allow for daisy chaining slave expansion units.
6) Trigger in: this input allows for a hardware trigger to initiate a modules'
response to an external event.
7) Sync. out: this output allows for hardware triggering of external devices
synchronizing them to the unit's operations.
8) On-off control: allows the user to enable (or shut down), via hardware, the
operation of the mainframe. In the same connector, a dry contact offers
information regarding the system's operation ("on" or "off / disabled").
