following operations:
•
Assign to channel a symbolic name
•
Set output voltage (VSET)
•
Set max. output current (ISET)
•
Set output voltage software limit (SVMAX)
•
Set voltage ramp-up speed (RAMP-UP)
•

If the POWER ON option is enabled, the channel, at POWER ON, is restored in the
same condition it was before the POWER OFF or RESET; if this option is disabled, at
POWER ON or after a RESET, the channel is kept OFF independently from its previous
condition.
