Setting the voltage limit is quite simple to do, and to understand. Refer to the front panel picture
on the previous page, and the instructions below.
Setting the Output Voltage:
Let's say you have built a circuit that needs +5 V. So, you follow the process above to set the +6
V supply to +5.000 V. Do this now, and verify that the output voltage is 5.000 V.
Or, your circuit needs +/- 15 V, in which case you follow the process above to set the +25 V
supply to +15.00 V, and the -25 V supply to -15.00 V. Do this now, and verify that the voltages
are +15 V and -15 V (both measured with respect to the black COM terminal).
However, taking the time to also set the current limit can be a really smart precaution, in case a
wiring error, defective component, or accidental connection (e.g. bridging two pins on an IC)
during testing would cause excessive current to flow and damage your circuit. The +6 V supply
can source 5 amperes, and the +/- 25 V supplies can source 1 amp; this is a substantial amount
of current, and can create a lot of smoke and damage to components in your circuit.
