Various status displays (symbols, strings)
• Actual / set values area (blue / red)
In normal operation the DC output values (large numbers) and set values (small numbers) for voltage and current.
While the DC output is switched on, the actual regulation mode CV or CC is displayed above to the corresponding
setvalue,asshowninthegureabovewithexampleCC.
The set values can be adjusted by rotating the knobs below the display, whereas pushing the knobs is used to select
a particular digit. Logically, the values are increased by clockwise turning and decreased by anti-clockwise turning.
