function, sets trip voltage level, and clears the overvoltage condition.

4 Overcurrent protection key Enables or disables the overcurrent protection

function, sets trip current level, and clears the overcurrent condition.

5 Display limit key Shows voltage and current limit values on the display and

allows knob adjustment for setting limit values.

6 Recall operating state key Recalls a previously stored operating state from

location ‘‘1’’, ‘‘2’’, or ‘‘3’’.

7 Store operating state / Local key1Stores an operating state in location ‘‘1’’,

‘‘2’’, or ‘‘3’’ / or returns the power supply to local mode from remote interface

mode.

8 Error / Calibrate key2Displays error codes generated during operation, self-

test and calibration / or enables calibration mode (the power supply must be

unsecured before performing calibration). See Service Guide for more details

on calibration.

9 I/O Configuration / Secure key3Configures the power supply for remote

interfaces / or secure or unsecure the power supply for calibration. See

Service Guide for more details on how to secure or unsecure the power supply.

10 Output On/Off key Enables or disables the power supply output. This key

toggles between on and off.

11 Control knob Increases or decreases the value of the blinking digit by turning

clockwise or counter clockwise.

12 Resolution selection keys Move the blinking digit to the right or left.

13 Voltage/current adjust selection key Selects the knob control function for

voltage or current adjustment.

The key can be used as the‘‘

Local

’’ key when the power supplyis in the remote

interface mode.

You can enable the ‘‘calibration mode’’ by holding down this key when you

turn on the power supply.

You can use it as the ‘‘

Secure

’’ or ‘‘

Unsecure

’’ key when the power supply is

in the calibration mode.

Front-Panel Voltage and Current Limit Settings

You can set the voltage and current limit values from the front panel using the

following method.

1Select the desired range using the range selection keys after turning on the

power supply.

2Press the

key to show the limit values on the display.

3Move the blinking digit to the appropriate position using the resolution

selection keys and change the blinking digit value to the desired voltage limit

by turning the control knob. If the display limit times out, press the key

again.

4Set the knob to current control mode by pressing the key.

5Move the blinking digit to the appropriate position using the resolution

selection keys and change the blinking digit value to the desired current limit

by turning the control knob.

6Press the

key to enable the output. After about 5 seconds, the display

will go to output monitoring mode automatically to display the voltage and

current at the output or the display will go to output monitoring mode

immediately by pressing the

key again.

Note All front panel keys and controls can be disabled with remote interface commands.

The Agilent E3633A and Agilent E3634A must be in "Local" mode for the front panel

keys and controls to function.

Use the voltage/current adjust selection key, the resolution selection keys,

and the control knob to change the voltage and current limit values.

Display Annunciators

Adrs Power supply is addressed to listen or talk over a remote interface.

Rmt Power supply is in remote interface mode.

8V Shows the 8V/20A range is selected. (Agilent E3633A model)

20V Shows the 20V/10A range is selected. (Agilent E3633A model)

25V Shows the 25V/7A range is selected. (Agilent E3634A model)

OVP The overvoltage protection function is enabled when the

annunciator turns on or the overvoltage protection circuit has

caused the power supply to shutdown when the annunciator blinks.

OCP The overcurrent protection function is enabled when the

annunciator turns on or the overcurrent protection circuit has

caused the power supply to shutdown when the annunciator blinks.

CAL The power supply is in calibration mode.

Limit The display shows the limit values of voltage and current.

ERROR Hardware or remote interface command errors are detected and

the error bit has not been cleared.

OFF The output of the power supply is disabled (For more information,

see page 52 in the User’s Guide).
