How to...

This chapter covers some common tasks that are often performed with an AC power source.
These examples are written in a How to... format and provide step by step instructions on
how to set up the AC Source for a specific task.
4.2.1. Set the Output
Output parameters are Voltage, Frequency and Current Limit.
1. Disable the output by pressing the OUTPUT button. The LED above the button will turn
off.
2. Use the left shuttle to set the output voltage. Clockwise will increase the output, counter
clockwise will reduce the output. The display above the shuttle will show the voltage
setting.
3. Use the right shuttle to set the frequency and current limit. The Frequency/Current select
button will define the function of the shuttle and the display above it. The Frequency or
Current LED will turn on to indicate the function controlled by the right shuttle.
4. Enable the output by pressing the OUTPUT button.
4.2.2. Slewing Output Values
The output parameters can be slewed using the shuttles.
1. Enable the output by pressing the OUTPUT button. The LED above it will turn on.
2. Use the left shuttle to set the output voltage. Clockwise will increase the output,
counter clockwise will reduce the output. The display above the shuttle will show the
voltage setting.
3. Use the right shuttle to set the frequency and current limit. The Frequency/Current
button will define the function of the shuttle as indicated by the display above it. The
Frequency or Current LED will turn on to indicate the function in control.
4.2.3. View Current Measurements
Current measurements can be called up as follows:
1. Press the Frequency/Current button to select the Current function.
2. Immediately the Frequency/Current display will show the measured current.
3. Moving the right shuttle will interrupt the current measurement. The display will show
the current limit value.
4. After a short delay the display will revert back to show the measured current.
