Selection of one single source (INDEPENDENT mode)
To select any value, be it level or phase angle, it suffices to press on the setting window
you wish to vary. A red-colored cursor will appear under some of the digits of this
window. If the cursor appears on the weight digit that you wish to adjust (e.g. The digit
that adjusts the angle by 10 degree intervals, as in the figure), you must only increase
with the endless rotary knob until the desired value is reached. In the case of the figure,
it will vary every 10 degrees.
If you wish to change its adjustment resolution, it suffices to press the arrow buttons
situated on the bottom of the screen, directly above the rotary knob. If you press the
right-hand arrow, the red-colored cursor will move to the right, increasing the resolution
by one decade. If you press the left-hand arrow, the red-colored cursor will move to the
left, decreasing the resolution by one decade.
In our example in the figure, if we press the right-hand key, our resolution increases to
achieve degree be degree adjustment. If we press the left-hand key, our resolution
decreases to achieve adjustment in 100 degree intervals.
Simultaneous selection in several sources (SELECTED
mode)
Mention has been made above of the SELECTED mode and how to activate it in each
source. This mode is used to make adjustments, changes in frequency reference and
actions on the output status all at the same time, thus permitting three-phase
adjustments or even of more sources, just by applying the single rotary knob, or any
ON/OFF output control button. However, there are logically some limitations to carry
out this practical function, depending on the parameters or actions that the change
affects. These are described below:

When LEVEL or phase ANGLE values are adjusted, any change made in a
source on SELECTED mode, occurs in the same way in ALL the sources
OF THE SAME TYPE (V or I) that are in that mode. That is, a change in
