Parallel Tracking Mode
Under this mode, the - Master Output Terminal is shorted with the - Slave Output Terminal while the +
Master Output Terminal is shorted with the + Slave Output Terminal automatically.
This parallel output is generated from the + Master Output Terminal and the -Master Output Terminal (or -
Slave Output Terminal). The output current is twice the set master current while the output voltage is the
same as the master setting value.
To operate in the parallel mode:
1.
Set the TRACKING MODE switches on the front panel to PAR.
2.
Turn on the POWER switch.
3.
Turn the SLAVE Current and Voltage Adjustment Knobs clockwise to maximum.
4.
