STEP 2 Configure the Instrument Track Mode
15.
Press Menu.
16.
Use the arrow keys or the navigation wheel to select
Track CH1/CH2
.
17.
Press Enter to enter the submenu.
18.
Use the arrow keys or the navigation wheel to select
Track On
.
19.
Press Enter to activate the track mode. See an example of track mode front display below.
STEP 3 Turning on the Output
20.
Press Output On/Off to turn on the output. Now varying the voltage on channel 1 or the
channel 2 voltage will change the other channel by the desired ratio.
Remote Operation
The following SCPI command example sets CH1 voltage output to 10V, the current limit to 1.5A, CH2
voltage output to track half of CH1’s value, or 5V, the current limit to 1.5A, enables the track mode and
turns the output on.
