4.2 Menu Structure
The next few pages show a map of the available menus in the i/iX Series. All menus can be reached
by repeatedly pressing the
MENU
key. Frequently used menus have a short cut key that provides
direct access. Examples of such menus are Program and Measurements. In any case, there are never
more than two levels of menus although some menus may be spread across more than one screen.
4.2.1 Power on screens
At initial power up, the i/iX Series power supply will display important configuration information in a
series of power on screens. These displays are only visible for a short period of time and will not re-
appear until the next time the unit is turned on.
There are multiple screens that will appear in the following order:
1. LANetwork detection... At power up, the unit will try to detect a LAN interface. If not found, a “LAN
not available” message will appear. The LAN will not be detected if:
1. No –LAN option is installed.
2. The USB port is connected to a computer.
3. The RS232 port jumper is installed.
This process may take several seconds.
2. Initialization in progress. This means the firmware has started to load.
3. Company and firmware information. Displays the manufacturer - Cal Inst., which is short for
California Instruments - and the firmware part number and revision. The firmware part number
starts with CIC followed by a three-digit code and dash number. The firmware revision has a major
revision before the decimal point and a minor revision after the decimal point.
4. Model and Serial number information. The model will be a function of the configuration and will
include the series designation (i or iX). The serial number is a 5-digit number. This number should
match the model type sticker located on the back of the unit.
