kAnnunciators

14-character vacuum fluorescent display for showing output measurements and programmed values.

Annunciators light to indicate operating modes and status conditions: CV The dc source output is in constant-voltage mode.

CCThe dc source output is in constant-current mode. Unr The dc source output is in an unregulated state. Dis The dc source output is disabled (off).

OCP The overcurrent protection state is enabled.

Prot One of the dc source's output protection features is activated. Cal The dc source is in calibration mode.

Shift The Shift key is pressed to access an alternate key function. Rmt The selected interface (HP-IB or RS-232) is in a remote state. Addr The interface is addressed to talk or to listen.

Err There is a message in the SCPI error queue.

SRQ The interface is requesting service from the controller.

lRotary Control

mOutput Connectors

The rotary control lets you set the output voltage or current as well as menu parameters. Press á and â to select the resolution, then adjust the value with the knob.

Optional front panel binding posts let you connect loads to the front of the unit. Before using the front panel binding posts, make sure that the output terminals are jumpered for Local sensing.
