User Settings
User Settings specifies user preferences that control how the user interacts with the instrument. These settings are
stored in non-volatile memory.
SCPI ID
SCPI ID determines the instrument's response to a *IDN? query. This enables *IDN? compatibility with existing
programs that expect *IDN? to return a value appropriate to a E3631A.
Choices for each power supply model are:
– E3631A: E3631A
– E3631xA: E36311A, E36312A, E36313A
When set to E3631A mode, the instrument will behave exactly like the E3631A. For example, Output 3 will change to
-25 V. In this case, all the remote commands and trigger system will follow the E3631A behavior as well.
Sound Settings
Beeper enables or disables the beeper sound when an error is generated from the front panel or remote interface.
Key Click enables or disables the click heard when a front-panel key or softkey is pressed.
Display Options
Display Options configures the display.
You can enables or disables the display and screen saver.
If you turn off the display, press any front-panel key to turn it on again.
By default, the screen saver turns off and blanks the screen after 30 minutes of inactivity. You may disable this
screen saver from the front panel only.
The display is enabled when power is cycled, after an instrument reset (*RST), or when you return to local (front
panel) operation. Press Lock/Unlock or execute the SYSTem:LOCal command from the remote interface to return
to the local state.
Help Lang selects the help language for front-panel use: English, French, German, Japanese, Korean, Simplified
Chinese or Russian. All front-panel key help, and help topics appear in the selected language. The softkey labels are
always in English.
Date / Time
Date / Time sets the instrument's real-time clock, which always uses a 24-hour format (00:00:00 to 23:59:59).
There is no automatic setting of the date and time, such as to adjust for daylight savings time.
