Track
You can set channel 1 (CH1) and channel 2 (CH2), CH2 and Channel 3 (CH3), and all three channels
to tracking mode. When CH1/CH2 tracking is on, channel 1 and channel 2 respond relative to one
another when adjustments in voltage are made. A constant ratio is maintained between the voltage
settings on the two channels.
The voltage ratio is set between channel 1 and channel 2 when CH1/CH2 tracking is turned on. For
example, if channel 1 and channel 2 are both set to 1 V when tracking is turned on, a one-to-one ratio
is maintained and any voltage change on channel 1 results in a corresponding change on channel 2.
If channel 1 is set to 10 V and channel 2 is set to 5 V when tracking is turned on, a two to one ratio is
maintained and any voltage change on channel 1 results in a voltage change of half the size of
channel 2.
To set up CH1/CH2 tracking mode:
1. Press the CH1 key.
2. Press the V-Set key and enter the voltage value for channel 1. For example, set the voltage of
channel 1 to 3 V.
3. Press the Enter key.
4. Press the CH2 key.
5. Press the V-Set key and enter a voltage in the ratio you want for channel 2. For example, set the
voltage of channel 2 to 6 V. The ratio is 2.
6. Press the Enter key.
7. Press the Menu key, and using the down arrow key, navigate to Track, and then press the Enter
key.
8. Press the down arrow key to select Track CH1/CH2 and then press the Enter key to turn on
tracking.
9. Verify that T is displayed between the voltage readings of channel 1 and channel 2 on the
display. This indicates that the power supply is in tracking mode.
To set up CH2/CH3 tracking mode:
1. Press the CH2 key.
2. Press the V-Set key and enter the voltage value for channel 2. For example, set the voltage of
channel 2 to 3 V.
3. Press the Enter key.
4. Press the CH3 key.
5. Press the V-Set key and enter a voltage in the ratio you want for channel 3. For example, set the
voltage of channel 3 to 6 V. The ratio is 2.
6. Press the Enter key.
7. Press the Menu key, and using the down arrow key, navigate to Track, and then press the Enter
key.
8. Press the down arrow key to select Track CH2/CH3 and then press the Enter key to turn on
tracking.
9. Verify that T is displayed between the voltage readings of channel 2 and channel 3 on the
display. This indicates that the power supply is in tracking mode.
