seconds, the power supply will abandon the current calibration procedure
and return to the Calibration menu.
The CV LED indicator will go off and the CC LED indicator will light on. The
power supply will then display:
Voltage display: I 0
Current display: hex number
A hexadecimal number between 0 and FFFFh is shown on the current
display.
c) Use the current coarse and fine knobs to adjust the value displayed by the
power supply until the ammeter indicates the closest value to 0mA.
d) Press the Output On-Off button to finish the calibration.
While performing the zero current calibration, the current display will show
Adc. After the zero current calibration, the message DonE is shown on the
current display for 1 sec. Then the power supply returns to the Calibration
