Comments

When setting the specified channel to ON, this function will apply the voltage and current limit settings at the shortest time possible.

When setting the specified channel to STANDBY, this function will set the voltage and currents limit to zero and disconnect the outputs at the shortest time possible.

NOTE: Supported by power supplies with Serial Numbers greater than 74000140 or older models that were upgraded to support that functionality.

In Standby mode board voltages and current limits can be set; however, the outputs are disconnected.
