Front Panel Operation

Introduction

This chapter shows you how to operate the front panel. It is assumed that you are familiar with the turn-on checkout
procedure in Chapter 3. That chapter describes how to perform basic power supply functions from the control panel.
Operations that you can perform are:
•
Enabling or disabling the power supply output.
•
Setting the output voltage and current.
•
Monitoring the output voltage and current.
•
Setting the overvoltage protection (OVP) trip point.
•
Enabling the overcurrent protection (OCP) circuit.
•
Saving up to 5 operating states in nonvolatile memory.
•
Recalling up to 5 operating states from nonvolatile memory.
Note
You also can calibrate the power supply from the front panel (see Appendix A).

Getting Acquainted

The front panel is summarized in Figure 5-1. Note that the panel is organized as follows:
¬ LCD display (including annunciators)
- Output VOLTAGE and CURRENT rotary (RPG) controls
® SYSTEM keys
¯ FUNCTION keys
° ENTRY keys
Power On-Off (LINE) switch
Some keys perform two operations. The first operation is shown on the key and the second (shifted) operation is shown in
blue above the key. In order to do a shifted operation, first press the solid blue key, which is unlabeled but shown
throughout this manual as
For example, for a recall operation, you press the recall key
. In this chapter, such a shifted operation may be shown simply as
The display consists of alphanumeric data and triangular-shaped annunciators (t) along the bottom of the display.
