voltage and current programming, measurements, status, step and list transients. The following
conditions apply:
l Up to four output channels can be grouped per mainframe.
l Output channels that are grouped must also be connected in parallel as described under Parallel
Connections.
l Grouped channels do not have to be adjacent, but they must have identical model numbers and
options installed.
l The maximum output current is the sum of the maximum of each channel in the group.
l Low current measurement ranges should not be used with grouped channels, otherwise a meas-
urement overload error will occur. Low current output ranges, however, can be used.
l Over-current protection delay has a slightly slower response time (~10 ms) and slightly less res-
olution than an ungrouped channel.
l When output channels have been grouped, they are addressed using the channel number of the
lowest channel in the group.
l Power limiting should not be used when Keysight N673xB, N674xB, and N677xA power modules
are grouped. Refer to Power Allocation.
Front Panel Menu Reference SCPI Command
Select System\Groups.
In the matrix thatappears, selectthe channels you want
to group. Each row defines a separate group.
To configure a group of channels:
SYST:GRO:DEF 2,3,4
This groups channels 2 through 4. To address the
group, use channel 2.
To return grouped channels back to an ungrouped state, first remove the parallel connections
between channels and proceed as follows:
Front Panel Menu Reference SCPI Command
Select System\Groups.
In the matrix, place each output channel in its own
separategroup.
To ungroup all channels:
SYST:GRO:DEL:ALL
Reboot the unit for the changes to take effect.
Front Panel Menu Reference SCPI Command
Cycle AC power. SYST:REB

You can specify how the output channels are displayed at turn on.
