This chapter discusses the difference between constant voltage and
constant current operating modes; what you need to know about wire
sizes and how to compensate for voltage drops in the load leads. It
includes information to help you reduce or eliminate sources of
output noise as well as obtain the best output regulation from your
instrument. It also describes various loads configurations and how to
connect the output terminals in series and parallel.
WARNING
SHOCK HAZARD Turn off all outputs before making front or rear panel
connections. All wires must be properly connected with the binding posts
securely tightened.
