Common Settings

Settings under the Common Settings tab are applicable to all channels. Additional Output n tabs (Output 1, Output 2, etc) appear when any setting only applies to a particular channel. Select the appropriate tab to change the settings, which are grouped under the following categories:

Protection Related Settings

Output Inhibit Sets the inhibit input mode (Off, Latched or Live).
Turn off behavior Sets the output-off status (condition which is set on the channel automatically, immediately after its output is turned off).
Turn on/off mode (impedance) Sets the turn-on and turn-off behavior to either low impedance or high impedance mode. When Track is enabled, changing the turn-on setting also changes the turn-off setting and vice versa.
Protection Coupling Enables or disables channel coupling for protection faults. Protection coupling lets you couple the outputs so that when a protection fault occurs on one output, ALL outputs will be turned off.
Sense Fault Detection (SFD) Enables or disables sense fault detection.
Under Voltage Protection Enables under voltage protection with a corresponding voltage level. You can also specify a delay time.

Watchdog Timer

Enables or disables the watchdog timer function. Set the watchdog delay time in seconds.

Mode Related Settings

Operation Mode Sets the output capability when two independent outputs are being used (Independent, Series, Parallel, or Tracking).
Tracking Mode Enables or disables the output tracking mode, only applicable for E3631A and F4 EDU36311A.

Output Related Settings

Delay Offset If the Mode setting is Auto, the delay offset is automatically calculated by the firmware based on the outputs that are coupled. To manually program a different delay offset, select Manual and enter the desired value.
Max delay offset displays the maximum delay offset required for all the power modules that are installed.
Current Bandwidth Programs the current bandwidth. Only applicable in Current priority mode.
Range - Sets the compensation modes to optimize output response time with capacitive loads (Comp0 or Comp1).
Programming Pole Frequency/Level - Sets the low-pass filter corner frequency applied to the programming setpoint signal.
Voltage Bandwidth Programs the voltage bandwidth. Only applicable in Voltage priority mode.
Range - Sets the compensation modes to optimize output response time with capacitive loads (the options available vary according to the model).
Programming Pole Frequency/Level - Sets the low-pass filter corner frequency applied to the programming setpoint signal.
Output Relay Turns the output relay on or off.
Output Resistance Enables output resistance programming and sets the output resistance level.
Relay Polarity Select Reverse to reverse the polarity of the output and sense terminals.
Relay Lock Closed Enables or disables the locked-closed state of the output relays.
Polarity – Sets the polarity of the output relays.

Slew Rate Related Settings

Slew Rate Select the Max checkbox to set the slew rate to the maximum value allowed. Deselect the checkbox if you wish to enter a specific value.

Measure Related Settings

Amp-hours/Watt-hours Click Reset AHWH to reset the amp-hours and watt-hours.
Under Voltage Limit Enter the under voltage limit to prevent the voltage from dropping below the value set when battery is discharging. Current priority mode is required for RP7900.
