When the front panel Meter View appears, use the front panel knobs
to enter voltage and current values. Output 1 is selected by default.
Press one of the four On keys to enable an individual output. In
Meter View the DC Power Analyzer continuously measures and
displays the output voltage and current of each output.
A power-on self-test occurs automatically when you turn the unit on. This test
NOTE
assures you that the instrument is operational. If the self-test fails, the front
panel will display any errors.
The front panel Error indicator comes on if self-test fails or if other
operating problems occur with your instrument. To display the error
list, press the Menu key, scroll and select Utilities, then Error Log.
Errors are stored in the order they are received. The error at the

end of the list is the most recent error.
If there are more errors than can fit in the queue, the last error

stored is replaced with -350,"Error queue overflow". No more
errors are stored until you remove errors from the queue. If there
are no errors, the instrument responds with +0,"No error".
Except for self-test errors, all errors are cleared when you exit

the Error Log menu or when power is cycled.
