a few
times will always return to the V/I METER display.
MANUAL OPERATION (para. 4.3) - is available by pressing
Va, Vb, Vc

Output range (for power sources that support it), transition time, min and max
frequency, min and max voltage and adjust LCD (view angle and backlight). Calibration
for metering may also be performed. Status is given for system information such as
firmware version, GPIB device address or RS-232 serial interface parameters,
transformer ratio, amps to volts ratio ,number of Power Source amplifiers and current
transformer location
NOTE:
The five keys in the lower right portion of the keyboard (highlighted with a different color) are
executive keys. Every attempt has been made to ensure that:
•
In order to change power applied to the load one of these keys must be pressed.
•
Whenever one of these keys is pressed, power to the load may be changed.
This operational feature has been designed to help keep the user from accidentally pressing the
wrong key and unintentionally changing power to the load.
Remember! When you press a BLACK key something will probably happen to change output
power.
