Combining Channels 1 and 2 in Series to Output More than 30V
The series 2200 multi-‐channel power supplies have all channels isolated in their default state. However,
channel 1 and channel 2 can be combined in series to output a higher total voltage. The following
example demonstrates the steps to enable and output a combined voltage from channel 1 and 2.
