Map logical channel to a Power Supply
#########################################

MTF supports different power supply brands. In this documentation we will focus on Manson and Genesys power supply: 

Manson Power supply
++++++++++++++++++++

The Manson power supply communicates with the PC via **serial communication** and utilizes the **Silicon Labs CP210x USB driver**.
The first step is to verify that the driver is properly installed by opening Device Manager and checking the serial configuration under Ports **COM & LPT**.

In the current setup, the Manson power supply is connected to **COM3**, and the **Silicon Labs driver** is installed. The default baud rate used by the Manson power supply is **9600**.
The maximum supported current and voltage depend on the specific variant of the power supply (refer to the datasheet for details).

Genesys Power supply
++++++++++++++++++++


The Genesys have several variants, with two main types supported by MTF: **Genesys and Genesys+**.

The major difference between Genesys and Genesys+ is **the supported protocol by each device and the physical communication layer**.

- Genesys supports only the **GEN protocol over serial communication** but supports the **SCPI protocol over LAN**.

- Genesys+, supports **both GEN and SCPI over serial**, and **SCPI exclusively over LAN**.

.. note::

    LAN communication with Genesys can be established using either **TCP or UDP**, but currently, MTF supports only TCP.

Some steps need to be verified for both LAN and Serial communication:

LAN
======

1. **Verify IP and Port connections:** Confirm the IP address and communication port settings as described in the manual section `IA761-04-02G <https://product.tdk.com/system/files/dam/doc/product/power/switching-power/prg-power/instruction_manual/genesysplus-user-manual.pdf>`_ , for the IP address that is used for the Setting is 4.2.4
2. **Ensure Network Compatibility:** Make sure the PC is on the same network as the power supply.
3. **Check the YAML configuration:** Verify the YAML configuration.

Serial
========

1. **Ensure Power Supply connection:** Confirm that the power supply is properly connected to the pc.

2. **Check Baud Rate setting:** Verify the Baud Rate parameter as specified in the instruction manual `IA761-04-02G <https://product.tdk.com/system/files/dam/doc/product/power/switching-power/prg-power/instruction_manual/genesysplus-user-manual.pdf>`_ , for this Baud Rate, the IP used for the setting is 4.2.5
3. **Update the YAML file:** Make sure the YAML file reflects the latest configuration updates.
