Turn the Unit On
Verify that the line cord is connected and plugged in to the correct AC line voltage.
Turn the unit on with the front panel power switch. Rotate the knob from 0 to 1. The front panel display will light up
after a few seconds. A power-on self-test occurs automatically when you turn the unit on. This test assures you that
the power supply is operational.
It may take about 30 seconds or so for the power supply to initialize before it is ready for use.
If the instrument does not turn on, verify that the power cord is firmly connected. Also make sure that the instrument
is connected to an energized power source.
If the power-on self test fails, the display shows ERR in the lower right corner. See SCPI Error Messages for inform-
ation on error codes. See Service and Repair - Introduction for instructions on returning the instrument for service.
Set the Output Voltage
Method 1
