Abstract
A power supply controller has been developed which would combine 20-b precision, simple interfacing, and versatile software control. It performs many tasks internal to the power supply and communicates with an external host computer. Parameters can be entered and/or read over a serial link using one of the 82 command words. In addition, an optional remote control panel can be located up to thousands of feet away. This controller will reduce the software development time normally spent by the user, while increasing the reliability of the system. The cost is less than buying the equivalent separate CAMAC system.<>
