Programming of 
Output Voltage, 
Current and Power 
Independent  Signal  inputs  for  output  voltage,  current  and  power  programming  using 
External Analog Reference. 
Analog reference source is user selectable and can be a voltage, resistance or 4-20 mA 
source.  Selected analog reference source can be used to program output voltage, current 
and power programming. 
Voltage as Reference Source: 0 V to user selectable maximum range (2 V to 10 V) for 0 to 
full scale rated Output
12 
Resistance as Reference Source: 0 kΩ to user selectable maximum range (2 kΩ to 10 kΩ) 
for 0 to full scale rated Output
12 
Current as Reference Source: Fixed range from 4 mA to 20 mA for 0 to full scale rated 
Output 
Programming accuracy and linearity: ±1% of rated output
