Menu - Advanced Functions
Menu
Pressing the key marked Menu selects the System Menu screen.
This provides access to advanced options and functions. When the system menu is displayed,
setting of output parameters is not possible but operation of the output On/Off keys is
unaffected.
Each item of the system menu is selected by using the two arrow keys, or by turning the spin
wheel until the desired line is highlighted, and then pressing the Select soft key. This selects a
menu screen relating to the function selected.
Help Text
Alternatively, pressing the Help soft
key provides some on-screen
explanation of the highlighted
function.
8.1 Setting Voltage Tracking
Menu > Voltage Tracking Setup
By default, all four outputs are
completely independent. However, it
is possible to make the voltage of an
output always equal to the voltage
set on another output. This is called
voltage tracking.
Tracking voltages can be useful in
setting up adjustable voltages of
equal or opposite polarity, or when outputs are wired in parallel or in series.
Three alternative voltage tracking arrangements are possible:
Mode 1
Output 2 tracks Output 1.
Mode 2
Output 4 tracks Output 3.
Mode 3
Output 2 tracks Output 1
and
Output 4 tracks Output 3.
The controlling output is described as Master, whilst a controlled output is described as Slave.
Voltage tracking can only be selected when the voltage range for the Slave output is equal to or
higher than that of the Master output.
The tracking condition is displayed on the top line of the display, see section 7.
When tracking is set, changing the range of either the Master or Slave output will cancel
tracking regardless of the direction of the change.
