setting.
4. Set both variable supply CURRENT controls to midrange.
5. Turn on the POWER to the PS280 or PS283.
6. Set the desired voltage. Observe the LED display; the total output
is the sum of both voltage readings.
7. Turn the POWER off to the PS280 or PS283 again.
8. Connect the device or devices to be tested.
