5.5.2 MAIN PANEL
The main panel window allows access to all power supply parameters without having to execute
local controls and read the corresponding display. The main panel is a real-time display of out-
put values and programmed parameters. All functions are available from the main panel.
The operating mode (CV or CC) Mode indicators light to indicate whether the power supply is
operating in either CV (constant voltage) or CC (constant current) mode.
The analog meters read actual output voltage and current; Two windows beneath the meters
are provided to enter voltage and current setpoints. The Front Panel box shows a precise digi-
tal readout of the voltage and current displayed on the analog meters (this is identical to the
readouts on the KLP front panel DC VOLTS and DC AMPERES displays) as well as showing
messages appearing on the front panel Status Display.
The Output button applies the programmed settings to the output terminals when set to ON or
keeps the output voltage at zero and current at minimum when set to OFF.
Set Voltage and Set Current windows are used to program the output voltage and current for
the unit; settings can be changed either by clicking on the arrows to the left of the display win-
dow, or by using the mouse to highlight the setting, then typing in the new value.
The Protection button opens the Protection Window (Figure 5-6) which allows changing of the
overvoltage and overcurrent settings.

The Store/Recall button displays the Store/Recall window (Figure 5-7) which can be used to
store or recall up to 40 different power supply settings. After selecting a location, the Store but-
ton saves the following power supply settings. Voltage Setpoint, Current Setpoint, and Output
On/Off status. Whenever the same location is selected, the Recall button restores the saved
settings.

The Trigger button opens the Trigger window (Figure 5-8) which allows setting of trigger volt-
age and current values. Clicking the Trigger button within the Trigger window causes the power
