Accuracy specifications apply for 18°C – 28ºC, using the rear panel terminals, at 50W load power
(in normal 400W mode), after 30 minutes operation at the set conditions; regulation specifies
variation at other powers. Setting accuracies apply with slew rate at the 'Default' setting.
Superscript references are to footnotes on page 5, which provide further clarification.
