    Baud Rate Set This parameter configures the baud rate for serial communication. Possible values are 4800，9600，19200 or 38400. When operating the power supply in remote mode, make sure that you configure identical baud rate settings for the power supply and the computer. The default setting is 9600. Communication Parity This parameter sets the parity bit for serial communication.
  • Page 21 Out Series Set T his function configures the instrument for series operation of 2 channels. “None” means that each channel operates independently (power supply not in series mode). “1+2” means that channel 1 and channel 2 operate in series, 1+3 means that channel 1 and channel 3 operate in series. Note: C hannels 2 and 3 can NOT be configured for series operation.
