Setting Current
Follow the steps below to set the output current:
1. From the normal front panel display, users can use either the current adjust knob,
numeric keypad, or the keys to enter the setting current.
2. If entering using numeric keypad, press first so that the cursor selects the
current display. Then, enter the value and press to set the current.
3. To change the cursor position to adjust with the voltage adjust knob, use the
keys to move left or right.
Note: To see the changes to the setting current, be sure the display is not showing the
measured current. This can be checked by looking for the LED indicator of the
button. If it is not lit, the display is showing setting current.
When output is ON, the user can use the rotary to adjust the current value when the output is
in constant current (CC) mode. The output value will change simultaneously with the adjusted
value. This allows the user to quickly change the output value if the test is needed.
Remote Sense
Remote sense can be used to compensate for voltage drops (up to 1 V) due to resistance from
test leads connected to your device under test (DUT), thus providing more accurate output
voltage. The power supply is initially set up to local sense mode by default. Refer to the
following sections for details of local and remote sense setup.
Local Sense
By default, the power supply is set up for local sense. This is determined by the wire
connections in the rear panel, illustrated below:
Figure 6 – Local Sense Setup
When local sense is selected, the positive sense (S+) is connected to the positive lead (+) and
negative sense (S-) is connected to the negative lead (-), whereas the positive lead (+) of the DC
