1Meter and adjust selection keys Select the output voltage and current of any one

supply (+6V, +25V, or -25V output) to be monitored on the display and allow knob

adjustment of that supply.

2Tracking enable / disable key Enables / disables the track mode of ±25V supplies.

3Display limit key Shows the voltage and current limit values on the display and

allows knob adjustment for setting limit values.

4Recall operating state key Recalls a previously stored operating state from

location “1”, “2”, or “3”.

5Store operating state / Local key

Stores an operating state in location “1”, “2”,

or “3” / or returns the power supply to local mode from remote interface mode.

6Error / Calibrate key

Displays error codes generated during operations, self-test

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

before performing calibration).

7I/O Configuration / Secure key

Configures the power supply for remote

interfaces / or secure and unsecure the power supply for calibration.

8Output On/Off key Enables or disables all three power supply outputs. This key

toggles between two states.

9Control knob Increases or decreases the value of the blinking digit by turning

clockwise or counter clockwise.

10 Resolution selection keys Move the flashing digit to the right or left.

11 Voltage/current adjust selection key Selects the knob function to voltage control or

current control.

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.

1Press the key after turning on the power supply.

2Set the knob to the voltage control mode or current control mode using the

voltage/current adjust selection key.

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

4Change the blinking digit to the desired value using the control knob.

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

display will go to the output monitor mode automatically to display the voltage

and current at the output.

Note

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

commands. The Agilent E3631A 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 monitoring or limiting value of voltage or current.

Display Annunciators

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

Rmt Power supply is in remote interface mode.

+6V Displays the output voltage and current for +6V supply. Knob is active for

+6V supply.

+25V Displays the output voltage and current for +25V supply. Knob is active for

+25V supply.

-25V Displays the output voltage and current for -25V supply. Knob is active for

-25V supply.

CAL power supply is in calibration mode.

Track The outputs of +25V and -25V supplies are in track mode.

Limit The display shows the voltage and current limit value of a selected supply.

ERROR Hardware or remote interface command errors are detected and also the

error bit has not been.

OFF The three ouputs of the power supply are disabled.

Unreg The displayed output is unregulated (output is neither CV nor CC).

CV The displayed output is in constant-voltage mode.

CC The displayed output is in constant-current mode.

To review the display annunciators, hold down key as you

turn on the power supply.
