Track Function
Some of the DP800 channels support the output track function (as shown in the table
below).
DP832 Support Support Not support
For two channels supporting the track function, when the track function of one
channel (the tracked channel) is enabled, the voltage setting value of the other
channel (the tracking channel) will change accordingly when the voltage setting
value of this channel is changed. By default, the track function is disabled and it is
usually used to provide symmetric voltage for the calculation amplifier or other
circuits.
Operation Method:
1. Turn on the power switch to start the instrument.
2. Enable the track function
Select CH1 and press Track to enable the track function. At this point, the track
status label
is displayed between CH1 and CH2 in the user interface.
3. Set the voltage
Press Voltage to set proper voltage. At this point, the voltage of CH2 changes
accordingly. For example, set the voltage of CH1 to +5V and the voltage of CH2
will change to +5V automatically.
4. Disable the track function
Select CH1 and press Track to disable the track function.
The track function only tracks the voltage setting value and the actual output
voltage will not be affected.
When the track function is enabled, the voltage of the tracking channel cannot
be set.
