Track Function
The track function is usually used to provide symmetric voltage for the operation
amplifier or other circuit. For DP800 series power supply, the specified channels of
the following models support the track function.
DP832: CH1, CH2
DP831: CH2, CH3
For channels that support the track function, you can set the tracking states of the
voltage setting value and output on/off state respectively according to your need.
To Enable the Track Function
Press Utility  System  Track Set  Track to switch between "Synchronous"
and "Independent".
 Independent: for two channels (the channels should be of the same
instrument) that support the track function, the status of the track function of
the other channel will not be affected when the track function of a channel is
enabled or disabled.
 Synchronous: for two channels (the channels should be of the same
instrument) that support the track function, the track function of the other
channel will be enabled or disabled at the same time when the track function of
a channel is enabled or disabled.
For channels (the channels should be of the same instrument) that support the track
function, the tracking status of the channel voltage setting values is related to the
number of channels of which the track functions are enabled.
 If only the track function of a single channel is enabled, the voltage setting value
of the other channel will change accordingly when the voltage setting value of
this channel is modified. At this point, the voltage setting value of the channel of
which the track function is not enabled cannot be set and can only change with
that of the channel of which the track function is enabled.
 If the track functions of the two channels are both enabled, the voltage setting
value of the other channel will change accordingly when the voltage setting
value of a channel is modified. At this point, the voltage setting values of both of
the two channels can be set.
Tip
 When "Independent" is selected, users can enable or disable the track
function of a single channel freely.
 When "Synchronous" is selected, users can quickly enable or disable the track
functions of the two channels at the same time.
