4.3.3 Change Output Values in SET Mode

The SET mode of operation is a mode in which changes to output parameters made with the knob or
the entry keypad do not affect the output until the Enter key is pressed. The AC source is put in this
SET mode by pressing the Set key twice. A blinking cursor indicates SET mode is active.

To change the output voltage:

1. Press the Set key twice

2. Place the cursor on the VOLT entry

3. Rotate the shuttle knob clockwise to increase the value, counterclockwise to decrease the value or

enter a new value using the keypad but do not press the Enter key yet.

4. A blinking underline cursor will appear in the data for the VOLT field to indicate a change in

settings but the output remains unchanged.

5. Place the cursor on the FREQ entry using the down arrow key.

6. Rotate the shuttle knob clockwise to increase the value, counterclockwise to decrease the value or

enter a new value using the keypad but do not press the Enter key yet.

7. A blinking underline cursor will appear in the data for the FREQ field to indicate a change in

settings but the output remains unchanged.

8. Press the Enter key.

Both new voltage and frequency output values are now present at the output. The unit has returned to
immediate mode of operation until the SET key is pressed again.

Note that output settings such as voltage and frequency can be changed from the measurement
screen as well. If all three phases are selected on three phase models, slewing the shuttle knob will
change the output voltage on all three phases. If only one phase is selected, only the output of the
selected phase will be affected.
