8. Repeat the above steps for each power supply that you want to

connect together and control, making sure that each of them

have a different address assigned.

9. Connect the USB of the first supply (address 1) to the computer,

then use the Multi-Unit Programming commands to

communicate with each power supply. Refer to “4.7 Multi-Unit

Programming Commands”.

When connecting multiple power supplies (of the same

model) in parallel while in chain mode, there will be a

decrease in speed and performance with each additional

units connected in parallel. The voltage and current

scan speed, which affects the synchronization between

the power supplies, between the slave units and the

master unit will increase based on the following

formula:

250 * N (in milliseconds)

where N is the number of power supplies (of the same

model) in parallel. Please note as more power supplies

are paralleled and linked together, speed will become

slower. Thus, we do not recommend paralleling more

than 4 power supplies while in chain mode to ensure

fast performance. Parallel mode is recommended when

the application requires paralleling 5 to 10 power

supplies. Refer to section 3.6 Parallel Operation for

more details.

If the application requires connecting more than 10

power supplies in parallel operation, we advise to
