RS-232 interface
The RS-232 interface is equipped with a DB-9 socket in DTE configuration. It only receives data, but does not send any and uses no handshake lines.
Communication parameters 8n1, 9600 (power-on default), 4800, 2400 and 300 baud are supported.
To convert it to a more common DCE configuration, unplug and open the device and solder the RxD line from pin 2 of the DB-9 socket to pin 3.

| 6xx | Set countdown to 01-99 hours. After countdown has expired, the output is disabled. Set to 00 to disable. |

Please note that there seems to be no way to enable the output by software.
Manual operation
Status on power-up
Voltage and current are set to 0. Both voltage and current must be set separately (see below) before the power supply puts out any power.
Setting voltage (or special function)
U → <digit1> <digit2> <digit3> → U
Output is disabled while setting. LED CONST V is on when output is enabled.
When output is enabled, the voltage can be increased or decreased in steps of 100 mV with the UP/DOWN button.
Setting current
I → <digit1> <digit2> <digit3> → I
Output is disabled while setting. Display shows set value after third digit.
Remote operation
The sigrok driver for this device is named conrad-digi-35-cpu.
This device seems to be only partly remote controllable. Especially it seems not to be possible to enable the output remotely (if this is wrong, e.g. if you have the original software and it can remote control the output with it, please contact Matthias). After the output has been enabled manually, voltage and current can be changed remotely.
Because the user can change the device settings at any time and the driver cannot query the device for the current state, the parameters can be set only, but not read.
| Function | Parameters | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| SR_CONF_VOLTAGE_TARGET | Double 0-35.0 | |
| SR_CONF_CURRENT_LIMIT | Double 0-2.55 | |
| SR_CONF_OVER_CURRENT_PROTECTION_ENABLED | Boolean on/off | When enabled, the device switches off the output when max. current is reached. When disabled, the device is in constant current mode and lowers the voltage when target current is reached. |
