Tracking Operation
This power supply provides tracking outputs. In the track mode, two voltages
of the output1 and the output2 supplies track each other within the voltage
programming accuracy as described on page 159 in chapter 8 for convenience
in varying the symmetrical voltages needed by operational amplifiers and other
circuits using balanced two outputs. The track mode is always off state when
power has been off or after a remote interface reset.
• Front-panel operation:
1 Set either the output1 or the output2 supply to the desired voltage.
2 Enable the track mode.
Hold down key until the
Track
annunciator turns on. For example, when
the track mode is first enabled with the output1 selected, the output2 supply
will be set to the same voltage level as the output1 supply. Once enabled, any
change of the voltage level in either the output1 or the output2 supply will be
reflected in other supply. The current limit is independently set for each of the
output1 or the output2 supply and is not affected by the track mode.
3 Exit the track mode.
The
Track
annunciator turns off.
N o t e
The tracking accuracy is dependent upon the voltage programming accuracy of each
output. See ‘‘Performance Specifications’’ for more information starting on page 159
in chapter 8.
