Channel settings
Enable channels
You can enable or disable each channel using the menu. If a channel is
disabled, it remains off even when the output is turned on.
To enable or disable a channel:
1.
Press the Menu key.
2.
Press the down arrow key to select Enable Channels.
3.
Press Enter to confirm the setting.
4.
Press the down arrow key to select Channel and press Enter.
5.
Press the down arrow key to select Disable CH1 or Enable CH1
(default).
6.
Press Enter.
Track
You can set channel 1 (CH1) and channel 2 (CH2), channel 2 and
channel 3 (CH3), and all three channels to tracking mode. When CH1 and
CH2 tracking is on, channel 1 and channel 2 respond relative to one
another when adjustments in voltage are made. A constant ratio is
maintained between the voltage settings on the two channels.
For example, if channel 1 and channel 2 are both set to 1 V when tracking
is turned on, a one-to-one ratio is maintained and any voltage change on
channel 1 results in a corresponding change on channel 2. If channel 1 is
set to 10 V and channel 2 is set to 5 V when tracking is turned on, a
two-to-one ratio is maintained and any voltage change on channel 1
results in a voltage change of half the size on channel 2.
Example of setting up CH1/CH2 tracking mode:
1.
Press the CH1 key.
2.
Press the V-Set key and enter the voltage value for channel 1. For
example, set the voltage of channel 1 to 3 V.
3.
Press the Enter key.
4.
Press the CH2 key.
5.
Press the V-Set key and enter the voltage that sets the ratio you
want maintain for channel 2. For example, set the voltage of
channel 2 to 6 V. The ratio is 2.
6.
Press the Enter key.
7.
Press the Menu key.
8.
Use the down arrow key to go to Track, and then press the Enter
key.
9.
Press the down arrow key to select Track CH1/CH2 and then press
the Enter key to turn on tracking.
10.
Verify that
T
is displayed between the voltage readings of channel 1
and channel 2 on the display. This indicates that the power supply is
in tracking mode.
