Home Screen / Settings Menu
The Home Screen will be shown when the instrument is
powered on. It will include the default parameters.
To set volts or amps, select the parameter window and
enter the value required. See ‘
more details.
Use the
ON/OFF
key on the front panel to turn the
output on.
The home screen and settings menus are designed to be used in conjunction with one another using
the
Settings
and
buttons.
①
STATUS BAR
Shows current status of the instrument. See ‘Status Bar' for more details.
②
METER
Displays the live volts/amps present at the output terminals. See ‘Meter Status’
③
INFORMATION Lists the set information from the settings menu.

EDITABLE PARAMETERS
V set
Set DC output voltage. Values are dependent on selected range.
I Set
Set DC output current limit. Values are dependent on selected range.
Range
Select operating range - 50V or 80V.
50V in steps of 1mV, 80V in steps of 2mV.
As the resolution of the 80V range is 2mV, when switching from 50V to 80V range
the set-point will be rounded down to the nearest 2mV figure (e.g., if output is set to
49.997 it will be changed to 49.996).
Plim
Set the power limit, this can also be used to regulate the power being delivered by
the unit: 100W to 750W in 10W increments
OVP
Set the Over Voltage Protection limit. Protects against dangerously high voltages: 2V
to 90V
OCP
Set the Over Current Protection limit. Protects against excessive current: 2A to 55A
Sense
Select how the voltage is regulated.
Local:
Instrument will regulate set voltage
Remote:
Instrument will regulate set voltage at the point the remote sensing wires
are connected.
Iavg
Select Current Averaging: The AMPS reading is still updated at the same rate (4
times per second), but the value displayed is a filtered rolling average of the last 4
current measurements made.
On:
The measured current value at the output terminals is filtered and displayed.
Off:
A sample of the measured output current value is shown on the display.
