Turn-On Check-Out ........................................................................................... 36

Normal Operation .............................................................................................. 38

Protection Functions ........................................................................................ 39

Output On/Off Controls.................................................................................... 42

Analog Programming of Output Voltage and Current ................................. 44

This chapter contains examples on how to operate your power supply
from the front panel. A check-out procedure is included to let you verify
that the power supply is operating properly. Additionally, information
about programming the power supply using the J1 analog programming
connector is also provided.

The simple examples discussed in this chapter show you how to program:



output voltage and current functions



protection functions



output on/off functions



safe-start and auto-restart



analog programming of voltage and current



front panel locking

Refer to chapters 4 and 5 for information on programming your power
supply using SCPI commands.
