Note: All voltage and current levels set via the keyboard are displayed on a separate 0.0.3" 4-
digit display. This entry preview system ensures that the user can observe the value entered
before it is effected thus avoiding possible error. The display is also used for setting additional
functions. When the output switch is on and no other function is selected, the display shows
output power in Watts.
Additional keyboard functions
Increase or decrease voltage or current in user-selectable steps (delta mode). Store and recall
voltage, current and OVP levels from non-volatile memory (25 memories). Set digital interface
type (RS232 or GPIB), set baud rate, set address.

<15ms (single command, buffer empty)
An internal time constant, T, (typically 22ms) governs the settling time
of a step voltage increase. Settling time to within 1% of the step
change = 4.6T, to 0.1% = 6.9T, to 0.01% = .2T; for example, after a
10V step the output will be within 1 digit (10mV = 0.1%) of its new
value in typically 150ms. For load currents of 1 Amp or more, settling
times for downward steps will be very similar; however, response
times will be longer at low loads.
