Because turning V-Span on will always change the output voltage, it can only be enabled or
cancelled with the output off. If attempts are made to enable or cancel V-Span with the output on,
the display will briefly show the message

can be usefully used to give an additional fine adjustment of ±1% (of the voltage span).
Mode Control of the Quad-Mode Dual
However, it is not possible to guarantee that there will never be any unwanted transients as the
mode is switched and the recommendation is therefore that both outputs should always be
switched off before any mode change.
Independent
Set the MODE switch to INDEPENDENT. The two outputs are completely independent and
electrically isolated; each can be set as described in the preceding Output Control section.
It is not possible to switch from Independent mode to Tracking with LOCK set on the Slave
output. The message
off (in Independent mode) before the Tracking modes can be used.
See also the Retained Slave Settings paragraph.
Isolated Tracking
Set the MODE switch to ISOLATED TRACKING. The two outputs remain electrically isolated but
the Voltage controls of the Master output set an identical voltage on the Slave output. The
Current controls of the Slave remain independent, including the 500mA Range and Meter
Average functions.

The four operating modes of the Quad-Mode Dual are
described below; the mode is changed using the MODE
rotary switch. To prevent unintended voltages being
accidentally applied to the circuits connected to the outputs,
changing modes will always cause both outputs to be
switched off.
