The output and sense terminals for OUTPUT1 and OUTPUT2 are duplicated on the rear panel
terminal blocks and are marked +O/P, −O/P, +S and −S. These connections are paralleled with
their front panel equivalents.
Switch the LOCAL/REMOTE switch to REMOTE when remote sensing is required. When the rear
panel Output terminals are used, the use of remote sense is always recommended to ensure that
output regulation is maintained within specification; connections can be made to either the front or
the rear remote sense terminals but never to both pairs of terminals at the same time. Switch back
to LOCAL when remote sensing is not in use.
RS232 (XPF60-20DP only)
9−pin female D−connector with pin connections as shown below. Can be connected to a standard
PC port using a fully wired 1:1 male-female cable without any cross-over connections.

Signal ground is connected to instrument ground.
USB (XPF60-20DP only)
The USB port is connected to instrument ground. It conforms with USB 2.0 (Full Speed) and
accepts a standard USB cable. The Windows plug-and-play functions should automatically
recognise that the instrument has been connected. If the correct driver is not found, follow the
Windows on-screen prompts and install the required files from the CD supplied.
LAN (XPF60-20DP only)
The LAN interface is designed to meet LXI ( Lan eXtensions for Instrumentation) Core 2011.
Remote control using the LAN interface is possible using a TCP/IP Socket protocol. The
instrument also contains a basic Web server which provides information on the unit and allows it to
be configured. Since it is possible to misconfigure the LAN interface, making it impossible to
communicate with the instrument over LAN, a LAN Configuration Initialise (LCI) mechanism is
provided via a recessed switch on the rear panel (marked LAN RESET) to reset the unit to the
factory default.
Further details are given in the Remote Operation chapter. For more information on LXI standards
refer to www.lxistandard.org/home
GPIB (XPF60-20DP only)
The GPIB signal grounds are connected to the instrument ground. The implemented subsets are:
The GPIB address is set from the front panel.
