Setting the Program Source

SUPPLY → PGM_SRC
The program source (PGM_SRC) feature specifies for each control mode the program source
for regulation mode and setpoint information. For each control mode, if the program source is
set to internal (INT), the Pinnacle supply uses the information for output regulation mode and
setpoint that has been established through either the Pinnacle Remote Active panel or the
Standard Serial port. If the program source is set to external (EXT), the Pinnacle supply uses
the setpoint and output regulation mode that has been established through the pins on the User
port.
To select the desired source and type, follow these steps:
1. Press SUPPLY → PGM_SRC.
HOST, LOCAL, and USER options appear. Press one of these buttons to toggle between
internal and external for that types.
2. Press EXIT.
Note: A user card must be installed in order to alter these settings.
