Control

Knobs

The Voltage and Current knobs are the simplest way to control the power supply.

The Voltage and Current knobs are digital encoders, and therefore, there are no start
or end points to their rotation, and their rotation positions are meaningless when the
power supply is powered OFF. The control knobs can be disabled through a menu
command. See “Lock Out Control Knobs” on page 98 for more information.
