The key for constant current operation is the maximum allowable voltage for the MX
can supply the UUT above the set voltage. This value is the OVOLT. The OVOLT value
must be above the set voltage for the power source. If this value is left at the set
voltage or lower, the MX will not operate at constant current in regenerative mode. The
UVOLT is used to shut the UUT if the MX could not maintain the current at set CURR
value in the regenerative screens after a time specified by the DELAY. If the UVOLT
will not control the shutdown of the UUT, then this value should be set the same as the
OVOLT. This will eliminate excessive current before the shut down.
