3.4.8 Tracking mode
Tracking is sort of a master-slave operation of output 1 and 2 and where output 1 would be the master. This is why
the tracking mode can only be activated and deactivated on the HMI of output 1 (left side).
As long as tracking is activated, the right-hand HMI of output 2 is completely locked and all set values and settings
are submitted to output 2, so it follows output 1. Tracking is especially helpful when wanting to connect output 1
and 2 in either series or parallel connection, in order to achieve higher output voltage or current.
Following applies to tracking:
•
Tracking can only be activated when both outputs are off and none is in remote control
•
Activated tracking is saved along with other device settings and thus instantly restored after powering the device
•
Even in tracking mode, the two outputs can have separate alarms, which would always lead to a switch-off of
both outputs; since alarms need to be acknowledged, the outputs can only be switched on again if both displays
don’t show any alarm anymore
•
Tracking can also be activated, deactivated and controlled remotely
