Note: Set the intended ratio before enabling tracking.

 

The tracking is based on a ratio 

between CH1 and CH2 when the tracking is enabled. If the voltage is the same on both 

channels when set, the two channels will track together based on a 1 to 1 ratio. For 

example, if CH1 = 1 V and CH2 = 2 V a 1 to 2 ratio is set when tracking is enabled. With 

this ratio, a voltage increase on CH1 from 1 to 2 volts will result in 4 volts on CH2.

 

 

Tracking function is disabled if 0 V or 0 A is set when tracking is enabled.

Parameters in Series/Parallel Mode 

 

Maximum voltage 

When operating in Series mode, voltages between channels add. In Parallel mode, the voltage 

equals the maximum voltage of the lowest voltage channel.

Over Temperature Protection 

If the internal temperature of the power supply exceeds 176°F (80°C

)

, the instrument will 

protect itself by automatically turn the output off. When this happens, the instrument beeper 

will turn on and the display will indicate Over Temp.  It is recommended that the power supply 

be disconnected from the DUT and powered off to allow the supply to cool down to normal 

operating temperature. 

 

4.16

 

Remote Sense 

Remote sense can be used to compensate for voltage drops (up to 1 V) due to resistance from 

test leads connected to your device under test (DUT), thus providing more accurate output 

voltage.  The power supply is initially set up to local sense mode by default.  Refer to the 

following sections for details of local and remote sense setup. 

 

Local Sense 

By default, the power supply is set up for local sense with jumpers installed.  This is determined
