to 30V/4A.

3 Overvoltage protection key Enables or disables the overvoltage protection function,

sets trip voltage level, and clears the overvoltage condition.

4 Overcurrent protection key Enables or disables the overcurrent protection function,

sets trip current level, and clears the overcurrent condition.

5 Display limit key Shows voltage and current limit values on the display and allows

knob adjustment for setting limit values.

6 Recall operating state key Recalls a previously stored operating state from location

‘‘1’’, ‘‘2’’, or ‘‘3’’.

7 Store operating state / Local key1Stores an operating state in location ‘‘1’’, ‘‘2’’, or

‘‘3’’ / or returns the power supply to local mode from remote interface mode.

8 Error / Calibrate key2Displays error codes generated during operation, self-test and

calibration / or enables calibration mode (the power supply must be unsecured before

performing calibration). See Service Guide for more details on calibration.

9 I/O Configuration / Secure key3Configures the power supply for remote interfaces

/ or secure or unsecure the power supply for calibration. See Service Guide for more

details on how to secure or unsecure the power supply.

10 Output On/Off key Enables or disables the power supply output. This key toggles

between on and off.

11 Control knob Increases or decreases the value of the blinking digit by turning

clockwise or counter clockwise.

12 Resolution selection keys Move the blinking digit to the right or left.

13 Voltage/current adjust selection key Selects the knob control function for voltage

or current adjustment.

The key can be used as the ‘‘Local’’ key when the power supply is in the remote

interface mode.

You can enable the ‘‘calibration mode’’ by holding down this key when you turn on

the power supply.

You can use it as the ‘‘Secure’’ or ‘‘Unsecure’’ key when the power supply is in the

calibration mode.

Front-Panel Voltage and Current Limit Settings

You can set the voltage and current limit values from the front panel using the

following method.

1Select the desired range using the range selection keys after turning on the power

supply.

2Press the key to show the limit values on the display.

3Move the blinking digit to the appropriate position using the resolution selection keys

and change the blinking digit value to the desired voltage limit by turning the control

knob. If the display limit times out, press the key again.

4Set the knob to current control mode using the voltage/current adjust selection key.

5Move the blinking digit to the appropriate position using the resolution selection keys

and change the blinking digit value to the desired current limit by turning the control

knob.

6Press the key to enable the output. After about 5 seconds, the

display will go to output monitoring mode automatically to display the voltage and

current at the output or the display will go to output monitoring mode immediately by

pressing the key again.

Note

All front panel keys and controls can be disabled with remote interface

commands. The Agilent E3632A must be in "Local" mode for the front panel

keys and controls to function.

Use the voltage/current adjust selection key, the resolution selection keys, and

the control knob to change the voltage and current limit values.

Display Annunciators

Adrs Power supply is addressed to listen or talk over a remote interface.

Rmt Power supply is in remote interface mode.

15V Shows the 15V/7A range is selected.

30V Shows the 30V/4A range is selected.

OVP The overvoltage protection function is enabled when the annunciator

turns on or the overvoltage protection circuit has caused the power

supply to shutdown when the annunciator blinks.

OCP The overcurrent protection function is enabled when the annunciator

turns on or the overcurrent protection circuit has caused the power

supply to shutdown when the annunciator blinks.

CAL The power supply is in calibration mode.

Limit The display shows the limit values of voltage and current.

ERROR Hardware or remote interfacecommand errors are detected and the error

bit has not been cleared.

OFF The output of the power supply is disabled (See page 52 for more

information).

Unreg The output of the power supply is unregulated (output is neither CV

nor CC).

CV The power supply is in constant voltage mode.

CC The power supply is in constant current mode.

To review the display annunciators, hold down key as you

turn on the power supply.
