positive output potential. V

Parallel Operation in Master-Slave Configuration

Parallel operation in Master-Slave configuration permits higher output currents to be realized with
equal current sharing between units and control of both voltage and current from a single unit. All
units should be of the same type, i.e. same rated output voltage and current. The diagram shows
3 units connected in parallel. For equal current sharing each unit must be independently connected
to the load with pairs of wires of equal gauge and length to ensure equal voltage drops. Connect
the V , I and COM of the master to the CV, CC and RTN inputs of the slaves (set CV and CC

switches to Remote) as shown.
The voltage and current of the master can be set by either the front panel controls via the digital
interface, or by an external voltage applied to its own CV and CC analog control inputs.
Parallel Operation in Master-Slave Configuration
In constant voltage mode the voltage across the load is that set on the master unit by its front panel
controls, via the digital interface or by the analog CV remote control input. The current limit for the
system (i.e. the current in constant current mode) is the current limit set on the master x n, where n
is the total number of units connected in parallel.

Isolated or Series Operation in Master-Slave Configuration

Isolated or Series operation in Master-Slave configuration permits tracking output voltages and
current limits to be set for multiple units from a single instrument. All units should be of the same
type, i.e. same rated output voltage and current. The diagram shows 2 units connected in series for
tracking ±Volts and tracking current limits. Connect the V
