4. Press the rotary Adjust/Enter control to commit the setting.
The SCPI command (s) for these instructions are:
[[:]SOURce[<channel>]]:COMBine:CSHare[:MODE]
Setting up the Slave Units
The output voltage and current of the slave units should be programmed
to maximum value. During parallel operation, the slave units operate as
a controlled current source following the controller unit's output current.
All slave units must be configured with the SCPI command to enable
current sharing, or use the following instructions to program front panel
current share setup:
1. With the 9-position mode control at the PGM position, press
the rotary Adjust/Enter control.

is displayed on the output voltage display.
3. Turn the rotary Adjust/Enter control to select in the
output current display.
4. Press the rotary Adjust/Enter control to commit the setting.
The SCPI command (s) for these instructions are:
[[:]SOURce[<channel>]]:COMBine:CSHare[:MODE]
Important: The slave unit discussed here is not the same as the remote
interface slave described in chapter 5.
Setting Over Voltage Protection (OVP)
The master unit's OVP should be programmed to the desired OVP level.
The OVP of the slave units should be programmed to a higher value
than the master OVP. When the controller unit shuts down, it will
program the outputs of the slave units to zero volts. If a slave unit shuts
down, only that unit would shut down and the remaining slave units
would supply all the load current if possible.
