In this mode, the output current will vary linearly
with changes in the programming voltage. The pro-
gramming voltage should not exceed 0.6 volts.
Voltage in excess of 0.6 volts will result in exces-
sive power dissipation in the instrument and possi-
ble damage.
3-37 The output current varies at a rate determined
by the programming coefficient as follows:

programmed using an external voltage source with
variable gain by utilizing the strapping pattern
shown in Figure 3-8. In this mode, the output cur-
rent is found by multiplying the external voltage
source (Es) by [Rp/(RR x Kp)], where Kp is the
constant current voltage programming coefficient as
given in Paragraph 3-37. The value of reference
resistor R and programming voltage source E

should be such that the value of E

possible to use the front panel current control al-
ready in the supply (A5R123) as the gain control (Rp)
by simply removing the external Rp and strapping

justed to exactly zero when the external program-
ming voltage is zero by either inserting and adjust-
ing R115 as discussed in Paragraph 5-93, or, if the
instrument is equipped with Option 021, by adjust-
ing potentiometer R116 as discussed in Paragraph
5-95.
3-41 REMOTE SENSING (Figure 3-9)
3-42 Remote sensing is used to maintain good reg-
ulation at the load and reduce the degradation of
regulation which would occur due to the voltage
drop in the leads between the power supply and the

load. Remote sensing is accomplished by utilizing
the strapping pattern shown in Figure 3-9. The
Power supply should be turned off before changing
strapping paterns.
terminals to the load will carry much less current
than the load leads and it is not required that these
leads be as heavy as the load leads. However,
they must be twisted or shielded to minimize noise
pickup.
