Use the left and right navigation keys to navigate to the setting to be changed.
In the following display, the voltage setting is selected. Enter the desired setting using the numeric
keypad. Then press [Select]. Use the arrows to navigate to the DONE button and press [Enter].
You can also use the [!] and [#] keys to adjust the value. Values take effect when the output is turned
on.

If Enable Latching is checked, a current limiting event longer than approximately three seconds will
disable the output and indicate OC protection fault. If this box is not checked, a current limiting event
will decrease the output voltage until the current goes below the limit.
Enable the Output
Press On/Off to enable the output. If a load is connected to the output, the front panel display will
indicate that it is drawing current. Otherwise, the current reading will be zero. The status indicator
shows the output’s status.
