2. For example, if 1A per click of adjustment is desired,
select the most significant digit (MSD), which yields 1
Amp per click. If finer resolution is desired, select a less
significant digit such as 100mA or 10mA per click (see
Figure 1). NOTE: Leading zeroes are suppressed.
Therefore from 0A to 9A, the MSD shows units of Amps.
From 10A to 99A the MSD shows 10A per digit. Clicks
can be set to a maximum of 10A/click. The adjustment
is continuously variable up to the maximum value for
the selected mode. Choosing a less significant digit
increases the number of turns x 10 per digit.
