and controlled by the remote control.
COM setting
Set up the COM port inside the PC according to the following list.
- Baud rate: 9600
- Parity bit: None
- Data bit: 8
- Stop bit: 1
- Data flow control: None
Functionality check Run this query command via the terminal application such as MTTTY (Multi-threaded TTY).
*IDN?
This should return the identification information:

REMOTE CONTROL PROCEDURES
Entering the Remote Control Mode
- Connect the USB cable.
- The power supply will automatically connect. After normal connection,there will be a tweet from the power supply itself.
- The panel buttons are locked, so the power supply can only controlled by the computer.
NOTE: KORAD software must be installed first.
Exiting from the Remote Control Mode
- Close the remote control software.
- Disconnect USB from the back.
- The power supply disconnects; a tweet from the beep with the hint that the remote control is over.
- The power supply automatically comes into the panel control mode.
