Front-Panel Voltage and Current Limit Settings
You can set the voltage and current l m t values from the front panel us ng the
follow ng method.
1Select the des red range us ng the range select on keys after turn ng on the
power supply.
2Press the key to show the l m t values on the d splay.
3Move the bl nk ng d g t to the appropr ate pos t on us ng the resolut on
select on keys and change the bl nk ng d g t value to the des red voltage l m t
by turn ng the control knob. If the d splay l m t t mes out, press the key
aga n.
4Set the knob to current control mode by press ng the key.
5Move the bl nk ng d g t to the appropr ate pos t on us ng the resolut on
select on keys and change the bl nk ng d g t value to the des red current l m t
by turn ng the control knob.
6Press the key to enable the output. After about 5 seconds, the d splay
w ll go to output mon tor ng mode automat cally to d splay the voltage and
current at the output or the d splay w ll go to output mon tor ng mode
mmed ately by press ng the key aga n.
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 select on key, the resolut on select on keys,
and the control knob to change the voltage and current l m t values.
