The channel number of the resulting groupwill be channel 1. There is no need to send commands to the secondchannel. This grouping function cannot be extended beyond a singlemainframe. Refer to Appendix D for more information.You can use the +D connection if you wish to protect the output fromreverse currents as well as isolate the output from the circuit when anoutput is shorted.Direct-Parallel in Fixed modeIn Fixed mode, outputs can also be connected in direct-parallel asshown the previous figure. Each output must be programmed to provideits share of the output current. However, because of the relatively lowoutput impedance of each output channel when operating in Fixedmode, the total output current may not be equally divided among alloutput channels.If your application requires equal current sharing as well as bettercurrent programming accuracy, then you must use auto-parallelconnections as described in the following section.If remote voltage sensing is required to compensate for any voltage dropin the load leads, remove the local sense jumpers and connect the senseterminals of each output directly to the load.You can also use the +D connection if you wish to protect the output inthe event that reverse currents that exceed the output rating aregenerated by your application and are applied to the output terminals.
