To provide additional protection for the load, voltage, and current limits
may be set while in the Constant-Power mode. If the unit cannot
regulate to the Constant Power setting due to load conditions, it will
regulate either at the voltage or current limit depending on the load
demand
.
(
Note: Constant Power mode is intended primarily for loads with
response times greater than approximately 10ms).
Delay
Parameter field box allow user to set delay for CC, CV, and CP mode.

OUTPUT SENSE
Each channel output is provided with sense terminals to sense voltage at point of
connection to the load. Line drop in the wires could be compensated by remote sense.
The Output Sense screen allows user to set the output voltage sense of each channel
to either Remote or Local, refer to Figure 3-35. When Sense is selected as remote,
Sense cables must be connected to rear panel of power the supply at pin S+ and S-
of respected channel Output connector (refer Figure 2-8). User cannot change the
Output Sense setting in output ON condition.
Front panel will display Remote Sense Fault under conditions:
1. If the remote sense is selected and the remote sense wiring is not done to the
power supply unit.
2. If the remote sense is connected in the reverse polarity.
3. If the load cable drop exceeds 5% of the rated output voltage.

Measurements
The Measurements Menu will show the measurements of DC Output Voltage and
Output Current in the floating-point value. In addition to that Output Status (ON/OFF),
and regulation Mode (CV/CV/CP) are shown in the header of each channel, Refer
Figure 3-36. Up- arrow and Home button will return to HOME MENU screen-1.
