Output Voltage Ranges
The desired output voltage range is specified when ordering. The output voltage ranges and
associated current limits are listed below. A voltage range equal to, or greater than, the load
requirements is recommended as the maximum and minimum output voltages can be reduced using
the front panel controls.

Output Current
The peak and average output current of each channel is listed in Table 1. The RMS current limit
defines the maximum frequency that is achievable with a capacitive load. Numerical values and an
online calculator can be found in Section 10.
In addition to the current limits on each channel, the total RMS current is limited to 2.6 Arms.
Exceeding this limit will result in an overload condition on all channels, or a temporary reduction in
output voltage.
During short circuit, the output current is limited to the rated maximum. The peak current can be
drawn for up to five milliseconds before the output is disabled for approximately three seconds. The
average current limit has a time-constant of 30 milliseconds and is reset 100 milliseconds after a
previous current pulse.
High peak currents are available using the –PULSE option, which is described in Section 9.
