Store Settings
The instrument can store 50 set-ups for each output in non-volatile memory; the parameters
stored are range, voltage, current limit, OVP and OCP. The output state and remote sense
setting are not stored. In addition, a further 50 Link Mode set-ups can be saved, see Main
Outputs – Link Mode section.
To store a set-up, first press SHIFT, STORE; the display shows
number (
0 to 49
right. The SHIFT function is cancelled (the light goes off) at this point. The store number (0 to
49) can be set directly from the keypad or by using the Jog control to increment/decrement the
displayed number; the JOG indicator beneath the store number flashes to indicate that the Jog
control is active. Set the required store number by either method and press OK to store the
settings and return the display to showing V & I. The store function can still be used when the
output settings have been 'locked' using the #33 function. A full store can be overwritten with new
settings. At any time before the OK key is pressed the store function can be exited without saving
a set-up by pressing ESCAPE or by waiting 10 seconds from the last key entry.
Deleting Stored Settings
Any store can be returned to 'empty' as follows: press SHIFT, STORE, and set the required store
number via keypad or Jog control as described above; at that point press • . The display now

To recall a set-up, first press SHIFT, RECALL; the display now shows

possible to recall an 'empty' store (pressing OK gives a warning beep); either select a full store or
press ESCAPE to exit Recall. Recall cannot be used if the output has been 'locked'.
At any time before the OK key is pressed the Recall function can be exited without recalling a set-
up by pressing ESCAPE or by waiting 10 seconds from the last key entry.
Settings may be recalled with the output on or off. However, if the recalled setting involves a
range change the output is turned off to avoid any 'glitches'. After pressing SHIFT, RECALL, and
setting the store number, the ON/OFF key will flash (as well as the OK key) if completing the
recall involves a range change. The output may be turned off with the ON/OFF key and the recall
then completed by pressing OK, or OK may be pressed directly in which case the output is
automatically turned off and the recall completed.
Extra Functions
Variations on some of the factory default functions can be set by the user by using the # extra
functions facility. Each function change, detailed in the list below is accessed by pressing SHIFT,
#, nn, when nn is the 2-digit number in the list below; the display changes to
SHIFT, # and the buzzer gives a confirmation beep when the 2-digit number entry is complete. As
indicated in the opening paragraph of this section, the # functions can be set independently (i.e.
differently) for each main output; note, however, that the #02, #03 and #21 functions which apply
to the Auxiliary Output can only be set when CONTROLis assigned to Output 1.
The settings of each Main Output can be 'locked'/'unlocked' individually by using #33 with the
CONTROL assigned to the respective output; on T models the AUX settings are also
locked/unlocked when Output 1 is locked/unlocked. The settings of all outputs are
locked/unlocked together if #33 is used with CONTROLset to LINK mode.
