Background
Tracking series operation doubles the Voltage
capacity of the GPD-3303 series by internally
connecting CH1 (Master) and CH2 (Slave) in serial
and combining the output to a single channel. CH1
(Master) controls the combined Voltage output
level.
The following describes two type of configurations
depending on the common ground usage.
