“Select all” key
This is used to directly and simultaneously place the sources in SELECTED mode. It is
a function sequential selection key, that is, each pulse corresponds to a function. When
it reaches the last one it goes back to the first, and so on and so forth. Every time it is
pressed, the situation described by the tag is generated and this changes to indicate the
action that will occur when pressed again. It has the following possibilities:
• Select all: This is the default configuration. When you press the key ALL the
existing sources are placed in SELECTED mode.
• Select voltage: When you press this key, the selection of the current sources
is deactivated, and only the voltage sources remain in SELECTED mode.
• Select current: When you press this key, the selection of the voltage modes
is deactivated, and only the current sources remain in SELECTED mode.
• Deselect all: When you press this key the SELECTED mode is deactivated
in all the sources that might be in this mode.
“Reset Values” key
This is used to return to the default values established in the Configuration (see
Configuration section) in all the sources in SELECTED mode. It is important to point out
here that this key will have NO effect on sources that are in INDEPENDENT mode.
