To activate the channel output, press the [Output] key on the front panel followed
by the desired channel key or vice versa.
The R&S
NGP800 power supply displays the actual voltage on the output chan-
nel and the actual current drawn by the load connected to the output. The display
font color of the selected channel changes depending on the operating mode of
the instrument.
●
Constant voltage (CV)
– Voltage regulated, actual current is lesser than setpoint.
– Font color of measured voltage and current is green.
●
Constant current (CC)
– Current regulated, current drawn by the circuit is limited to setpoint.
– Font color of measured voltage and current is red.
When output is turned off, the display font color changes to white and the operat-
ing mode is not displayed.
See the highlighted areas in
Figure 5-1: Font color in highlighted areas changes to green or red depending on the dif-
ferent operating modes of the instrument
