5.2 USB interface
You can connect the power and computer by using a USB cable with an A
type port and a B type port. All the power function can program through the
USB.
Note
For the IT6300C series models, USBTMC and USBVCP options are
supported, and USBVCP is a virtual serial port (fixed to 9600/8/N/1).
Before starting communication with the PC, you need to install VCP
related drivers. Please contact ITECH Technical Support for the driver.
The power supply USB488 interface functions are described as follows:
Interface is 488.2 USB488 interface.
Interface receive the request of REN_CONTROL, GO_TO_LOCAL, and

5.3 GPIB interface
First of all, you should make power supply GPIB port connecting to computer
GPIB card through the IEEE488 bus. Make sure the connect is firmly and then
set the address, power supply address range is: 1 to 30.You can Enter the
system menu functions by pressing (Shift)+ (Menu). You can
find GPIB address settings through pressing and Input address, then
press to confirm. GPIB address is stored in nonvolatile line storage.
5.4 LAN interface
The LAN interface is assembled in the rear panel of the IT6300C series power
supply. When connect PC, user can use one crossover cable to connect PC
directly. Another way is using one direct-attached network cable to connected
the router (in this case, the computer is also connected to the router).
Note
When using one crossover cable to connect PC directly, the gateway address
should be consistent with that of the PC, and the IP address should be at the same
network segment with the PC’s IP address.
When the instrument and computer are connected to the router, an independent IP
address must be assigned for the instrument.
