As a convenience, you can group the two channels that are paralleled in
a single mainframe to make them look, from a programming point of
view, like a single channel. The channel number of the resulting group
will be channel 1. There is no need to send commands to the second
channel. This grouping function cannot be extended beyond a single
mainframe. Refer to Appendix D for more information.
You can use the +D connection if you wish to protect the output from
reverse currents as well as isolate the output from the circuit when an
output is shorted.
Direct-Parallel in Fixed mode
In Fixed mode, outputs can also be connected in direct-parallel as
shown the previous figure. Each output must be programmed to provide
its share of the output current. However, because of the relatively low
output impedance of each output channel when operating in Fixed
mode, the total output current may not be equally divided among all
output channels.
If your application requires equal current sharing as well as better
current programming accuracy, then you must use auto-parallel
connections as described in the following section.
If remote voltage sensing is required to compensate for any voltage drop
in the load leads, remove the local sense jumpers and connect the sense
terminals of each output directly to the load.
You can also use the +D connection if you wish to protect the output in
the event that reverse currents that exceed the output rating are
generated by your application and are applied to the output terminals.
