Chapter 2 Front Panel Operations RIGOL higher output accuracy). Tip In CV output mode, when the load current is greater than the current setting value, the power supply will switch to CC output mode automatically. At this point, the output current equals the current setting value and the output voltage reduces proportionally.
RIGOL Chapter 2 Front Panel Operations Constant Current Output In constant current output mode, the output current equals the current setting value and the output voltage is determined by the load. This section introduces the operation method in constant current output mode. Operation Method: 1.
Chapter 2 Front Panel Operations RIGOL CAUTION When the fan stops, the channel switch cannot be turned on; otherwise, "The fan stops, stop the output!" will be displayed. 8. Check the output mode In constant current output mode, the output mode displayed should be "CC"; if "CV" is displayed, you can increase the voltage setting value properly and the power supply will switch to CC mode automatically. In addition, DP811 provides an output interface at the rear panel for constant current output.
RIGOL Chapter 2 Front Panel Operations Power Supply Series and Parallel Connections Higher voltages can be provided when two or more insulated channels (the channels can be from a single power supply or multiple power supplies) are connected in series. Higher currents can be provided when two or more insulated channels (the channels can be from a single power supply or multiple power supplies) are connected in parallel. Note: 1. Only insulated channels can be connected in series or in parallel.
RIGOL Chapter 2 Front Panel Operations 2. Set proper voltage, current and overcurrent protection value for each channel (all the channels in series connection should be working in constant voltage mode; you should set the same current setting values and the same overcurrent protection values for all the channels) by referring to "Constant Voltage Output". Turn on the output of each channel. Note: Make sure that all the channels in series connection are working in constant voltage mode.
RIGOL Chapter 2 Front Panel Operations Track Function The track function is usually used to provide symmetric voltage for the operation amplifier or other circuit. For DP800 series power supply, the specified channels of the following models support the track function. DP832: CH1, CH2 DP831: CH2, CH3 For channels that support the track function, you can set the tracking states of the voltage setting value and output on/off state respectively according to your need.
Chapter 2 Front Panel Operations RIGOL Tip The track function only tracks the voltage setting value and the actual output voltage will not be affected. You can perform the following operations according to your need. 1. Only enable the track function of a single channel and track the voltage setting value The operation procedures are as follows (in this example, only the track function of CH1 of DP832 is enabled).
