The 2260B has selectable slew rates for CC and
CV mode. This gives the 2260B power supply
the ability to limit the current/voltage draw of
the power supply. Slew rate settings are
divided into High Speed Priority and Slew
Rate Priority. High Speed Priority mode
disables slew rate settings for CC or CV mode.
Slew Rate Priority mode allows for user
adjustable slew rates for CC or CV mode. The
rising and falling slew rate can be set
independently.

The 2260B DC power supplies employ a bleed
resistor in parallel with the output terminals.

Bleed resistors are designed to dissipate the
power from the power supply filter capacitors
when power is turned off and the load is
disconnected. Without a bleed resistor, power
