Constant Voltage/Constant Current Characteristics
This power supply can automatically operate between constant voltage and constant current by responding
quickly to rapid load changes. The following figures shows the relative changes between the constant current
and the constant voltage modes.

3.4 Operation
Modes
3.4.1 Independent
Mode
The master and the slave power can be used independently to generate voltage and current. To operate in the
independent mode, follow these steps:
1.
Set the TRACKING MODE switches on the front panel to IND.
2.
Turn on the POWER switch.
3.
Set the master output voltage and current as described in section 3.2.
4.
Set the slave output voltage and current as described in section 3.2.
