Tracking Function
For power supplies with multiple channels, the channels can be linked such that
changes made on one channel are applied to the tracked channel.
For example, the channel 1 output supplies 6 V, intended for digital logic. The other two
supplies 20 V, which can be used with bipolar analog circuitry. The tracking adjust-
ments are applied to the two 20 V supplies so that the + and - 20 V supplies can be
adjusted together.
