Series Mode
In series mode the analog output is activated and this output is proportional to the output voltage of the power supply. When
this output voltage is fed to one or more analog inputs of other supplies and the analog inputs of those supplies are set for
Analog Voltage Control the supplies will match output voltages.

Mode Transitions Commanded from Front Panel
You can enter all modes except Remote with Lock from the front panel.
•
Press and hold the Output On/Off button for 5 seconds to enter Setup. Release the Output on/off button and the
Control Source selection screen will appear.
•
Press the Output On/Off button again. The Select Control Source (Mode) screen will appear, with the current mode
displayed (for example, LOCAL).
•
Turn either rotary control CW or CCW to select the desired mode and press Output On/Off to select it.
•
From the Control Source selection screen, turn either rotary control CW to display the Exit option.
Press the Output On/Off button again.
•
The Save Config? screen is displayed, with the Yes option. If the newly selected mode is to be stored to non-volatile
memory, press Output On/Off. However, if the newly selected mode is desired only temporarily and can be lost when
primary power is removed, turn either rotary control CCW to display the No option.
Then press the Output On/Off button.
Selecting the No option will not cancel the selection – it will just not store the selection to non-volatile memory. To discard the
new selection, the user must return to the Control Source option and re-select the original mode.

Mode Transitions Commanded via Remote SCPI Command
You can enter all modes including Remote with Lock via the SCPI command interface.
SYSTem:MODe:LOCal
For Local mode
SYSTem:MODe:REMote
For Remote mode
SYSTem:MODe:RWLock
For Remote with Lock mode
SYSTem:MODe VOLTage
For Analog Voltage Control mode
SYSTem:MODe:CURRent
For Analog Current Control mode
SYSTem:MODe:DUAL
For Analog Dual Control mode
Selecting any of the three Analog modes, you will additionally need to select scaling for the appropriate channel, Analog Voltage,
Analog Current, or both. This is done with:
SYSTem:MODe:ASCale <VOLT|CURR>,<3|5|10>
Set analog channel scaling level
SYSTem:AOUTput:MODE <DISabled|PARallel|SERies> For parallel/series operation. No scaling is available for the analog output
