1. Press the SET key
2. Place the cursor on the VOLTAGE entry
3. Rotate the knob clockwise to increase the value, counterclockwise to decrease the value
4. The VOLTAGE field will be blinking to indicate a change in settings but the output remains
unchanged.
5. Place the cursor on the FREQ entry
6. Rotate the knob clockwise to increase the value, counterclockwise to decrease the value
7. The FREQ field will be blinking 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.
5.3.4 Change Output Values with the shuttle knob from the MEASUREMENT 1 screen
Basic output settings such as voltage and frequency can be changed from the MEAS 1 screen by using the
following procedure:
1. Select the PROGAM 1 screen by pressing the PROG key and position the cursor on either the Voltage
or Frequency setting field.
2. Select the MEASUREMENT 1 screen by pressing the MEAS key. A small arrow will be showing in
front of either the Voltage or Frequency measurement readout.
3. The shuttle knob can now be used to increment or decrement the selected parameter.
If three-phase mode is selected in the MEASUREMENT 1 screen, slewing the knob while the voltage is
selected 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.
5.4 Standard Measurements
Standard measurements are always available through the MEAS key on the front panel. These
measurements are spread across two to four screens to enhance readability. Switching between these
screens can be done by successively pressing the MEAS button on the front panel. This will cause the
screen to cycle through all available measurement screens.
5.4.1 Standard Controller Measurements
For BPS Series power sources, the following two measurement screens are available:
