6000 Series
3.4.2
Serial Tracking Mode
Under this mode, the - Master Output Terminal is automatically shorted with the + Slave Output Terminal.
This serial output is generated from the + Master Output Terminal and the - Slave Output Terminal. The
output voltage is twice the set master output voltage while the output current is the same as the master setting
value.
To operate in the serial mode:
1.
Set the TRACKING MODE switches on the front panel to SER.
2.
Turn on the POWER switch.
3.
Turn the SLAVE Current Adjustment Knob clockwise to maximum.
4.
Set the master output voltage and current as described in section 3.2.

OVER LOAD
The output voltage is twice the set master
output voltage. The output terminal is
connected from the + Master Output
Terminal to the - Slave Output Terminal.
The output voltages for the master and
the slave are the same. You can apply
two independent loads or a load
requiring both positiveand negative
voltages as long as the positive and
negative voltages are the same.
