The HMI (

an USB-A port.
1.9.6.1
Touchscreen display
The graphic touchscreen display is divided into a number of areas. The complete display is touch sensitive and
can be operated by finger or stylus to control the equipment.
In normal operation the left hand side is used to show actual values and set values and the right hand side is used
to display status information:
Actual voltage display
Voltage set value input
Status area
Actual current display
Current set value input
Touch area for
rotary knob assignment
Actual power display
Power set value input
Indicator source/sink mode
Actual resistance display
Resistance set value input
Touch areas MENU
and SETTINGS
Touch areas may be enabled or disabled:
Black text or symbol = Enabled
Grey text or symbol = Disabled
This applies to all touch areas on the main screen and all menu pages..
•
Actual / set values area (left hand side)
In normal operation the actual values (large numbers) and set values (small numbers) for voltage, current and
power on the DC terminal are displayed. For the two operation modes as sink (displayed as
EL
) and source (dis-
play as
PS
) there are two separate set values each for current, power and resistance, as indicated is display. The
two resistance set values are only displayed while resistance mode is active. An actual resistance value is only
available during sink mode operation, thus it will be hidden when switching to source mode. The actual values of
current and power can be negative (signed) or positive. A negative value belongs to sink mode and indicates that
the device is work as electronic load.
When the DC terminal is switched on, the actual regulation mode,
CV, CC, CP
or
CR
is displayed next to the cor-
responding actual value, as shown in the figure above with CV as example.
The set values can be adjusted with the rotary knobs next to the display screen or can be entered directly via the
touchscreen. When adjusting with the knobs, pushing the knob will select the digit to be changed. Logically, the
values are increased by clockwise turning and decreased by anti-clockwise turning.
