Main Outputs – Link Mode

In Link mode, selected by pressing the LINK key, the key parameters of the two Main Outputs are adjusted together; when Link mode has been selected both CONTROL keys (1 and 2) are lit to show that both outputs are selected.

The following paragraphs only describe the differences between independent and linked operation; they should be read in conjunction with the corresponding paragraphs in the Main Outputs section.

Linked Mode Operation − Overview

Control of the two main outputs can be "linked" so that changes are applied to both outputs simultaneously. There can be several reasons for wanting to do this:

1.Series or Parallel Wiring

The user may wish to create an output with either twice the voltage or twice the current capability, see the Series or Parallel Connection with Other Outputs section on page 20. Linked mode provides a convenient means for controlling the two outputs when they are series or parallel connected.

2.Tracking Voltages (or Currents)

When in linked mode, using Numeric Set will set equal voltages and/or currents on the two outputs. Control of the outputs can also be linked with different voltages and/or currents set on the outputs. Use of the Jog control will then make equal changes to the two outputs.

3.Simultaneous Recall of Stored Settings

Each output has its own set of 10 memories. However, when in linked mode, a further set of 10 memories is available which can store settings for both outputs. Voltages and currents can be set individually for each output and the control put into linked mode before storing. The stored settings can then be recalled to both outputs simultaneously.

Note:

The existing settings for Output 1 can be duplicated on Output 2 using the Copy function before or after linking.

When in linked mode the control functions are limited to Set Range, Set Volts and Set Current (Numeric Set and Jog set), plus Store and Recall. OVP, OCP and Sense cannot be changed while in linked mode.

Control of On/Off for each output remains separate when in linked mode. To switch the outputs On or Off together the Multi-Output Control buttons must be used which are independent of linked mode.

Selecting Link Mode

The only constraint on selecting Link mode is that both Main Outputs must already be set to the same Range; in particular, the outputs may be linked even if their output voltage and current limit settings are different. Pressing LINK when different ranges are set will cause the buzzers to sound twice and the Range indicator of the previously unselected output to flash for 2 seconds.

Selecting Link mode will cancel any Jog selection set on either Main Output.

Set Voltage and Set Current Limit

Setting the output voltage and current limit by numeric entry or Jog control is essentially the same as for the outputs in independent mode. Using numeric entry the two outputs will be set to exactly the same new voltage and current limit, irrespective of the settings at the time the outputs were linked. Note that there can be a finite time difference between the changes on the two outputs, even if they are changing from the same initial setting; typically this time difference should be no more than 40ms (80ms max). However, if the settings were different at the time the outputs were linked, changing the voltage or current limit using the Jog control will maintain the difference between the two outputs by incrementing/decrementing each output by the same step,
