This section gives an overview of the front-panel keys/menus. The menus are designed

to automatically guide you through all parameters required to configure a particular

function or operation.

1 Output1 selection key Select the output1 voltage and current to be controlled and

monitored on the display.

2 Output2 selection key Select the output2 voltage and current to be controlled and

monitored on the display.

3 Low voltage range selection key Selects the low voltage range and allows its full

rated output to the output terminals.

4 High voltage range selection key Selects the high voltage range and allows its full

rated output to the output terminals.

5 Overvoltage protection key Enables or disables the overvoltage protection function,

sets trip voltage level, and clears the overvoltage condition.

6 Display limit key Shows voltage and current limit values on the display and allows

the knob adjustment for setting limit values.

7 Resolution selection keys Move the flashing digit to the right or left. Adjust the

scrolling speed of the text being displayed in the View menu.

8 Voltage/Current adjust selection key Selects the knob control function for voltage

or current adjustment.

9KnobIncreases or decreases the value of the flashing digit by turning clockwise or

counter clockwise.

10 Output On/Off key Enables or disables the power supply output. This key toggles

between on and off.

11 I/O Configuration / Secure key3Configures the power supply for remote interfaces

/ or secures or unsecures the power supply for calibration.

12 View menu / Calibrate key2Views the error codes and the text of the error message,

calibration string, and system firmware revision / or enables calibration mode.

13 State storage menu / Local key1Stores up to five power supply’s states and assigns

a name to each of the storage locations / or returns the power supply to local mode

from remote interface mode.

14 Stored state Recall menu Recalls a stored operating state from location ‘‘1’’ through

‘‘5’’ and resets the power supply to the power-on state (*RST command).

15 Tracking enabling/disabling key Enable / disable the track mode of the outputs.

1The key can be used as the ‘‘Local’’ key when the power supply is in the remote interface

mode.

2You can enable the ‘‘calibration mode’’ by holding down this key when you turn on the power

supply.

3You can use it as the ‘‘Secure’’ or ‘‘Unsecure’’ key when the power supply is in the calibration

mode.

Front-Panel Voltage and Current Limit Settings

You can set the voltage and current limit values from the front panel using the

following method.

1Select the desired output and voltage range using the output selection keys

and voltage range selection keys after turning on the power supply.

2Press key to show the limit values on the display.

3Move the blinking digit to the appropriate position using the resolution

selection keys and change the blinking digit value to the desired voltage limit

by turning the control knob. If the display limit times out, press key again.

4Set the knob to current control mode by pressing key.

5Move the blinking digit to the appropriate position using the resolution

selection keys and change the blinking digit value to the desired current limit

by turning the control knob.

6Press key to enable the output. After about 5 seconds, the display will

go to output monitoring mode automatically to display the voltage and current

at the output.

Note All front panel keys and controls can be disabled with remote interface commands.

The power supply must be in "Local" mode for the front panel keys and controls to

function.

Use the voltage/current adjust selection key, the resolution selection keys,

and the control knob to change the voltage and current limit values.

OUT1 The output1 is selected for front-panel or remote operation.

OUT2 The output2 is selected for front-panel or remote operation.

OVP1 The output1 overvoltage protection function is enabled when the

OVP1 annunciator turns on or the overvoltage protection circuit has

caused the power supply to shutdown when the annunciator blinks.

OVP2 The output2 overvoltage protection function is enabled when the

OVP2 annunciator turns on or the overvoltage protection circuit has

caused the power supply to shutdown when the annunciator blinks.

CAL The power supply is in calibration mode.

Limit The display shows the limit values of voltage and current.

ERROR Hardware or remote interface command errors are detected and
