Coarse and Fine Adjustment Modes

The coarse and fine adjustment modes are used for setting the voltage
and current set points, OVP and UVP settings.

Coarse adjustment
mode

When using local operation to set the current and voltage set points, use
the coarse adjustment mode (default) followed by the fine adjustment
mode (see next). The coarse adjustment mode quickly adjusts the
settings in large increments to reach the desired value.

Fine adjustment
mode

Pressing the rotary Adjust/Enter control to change the mode to fine
adjustment mode, provides the ability to manipulate the last significant
digit. Once the exact desired value for the setting has been selected, press
the rotary Adjust/Enter control to commit the value to the unit.
