Both new voltage and frequency output values are now present at the output. The unit has
returned to immediate mode of operation until the

Note that output settings such as current and frequency can be changed from the measurement
screen as well. If all three phases are selected, slewing the knob will change the output current
on all three phases. If only one phase is selected, only the output of the selected phase will be
affected. This is only possible if the measurement screen is accessed by pressing the
MEAS
key while in the program menu (an arrow will prompt which value will be changed).
