Basic Power Supply Operation
• Test connections — Explains how to connect the device under test (DUT) to the
power supply output, and how to connect an external voltage to the DVM input.
• Outputting voltage and current — Explains how to output voltage and current.
• Reading back V and I — Covers the Actual V and I display mode, which is used to
measure and display the actual voltage and current being delivered to the DUT.
• Independent voltage measurements (DVM Input) — Explains how to use the
digital voltmeter (DVM) to make DC voltage measurements.
• Sink operation — Explains how to use the power supply to dissipate power, rather
than sourcing it.
• Programming examples — Provides two examples: one to output and read back
voltage and current, and one to measure the DVM input.
