4.1 Constant Voltage Output
UDP3305S-U power supply provides two output modes: constant voltage output (CV) and constant current output (CC). In CV mode, the output voltage equals the voltage setting value and the output current is determined by the load. In CC mode, the output current equals the current setting value and the output voltage is determined by the load (When the power supply setting limit current value is less than the current value consumed by the load, the power supply is in constant current mode).
This section introduces the operation method in constant voltage output mode.

4.6 Delayer Templates
The optional delayer templates include: state generation, fix time, increase, and decline.
1. State Generation
The state generation mode is a template that controls the On/Off state of the output terminal. "0" means off and "1" means on.
- 01 Pattern: the state is set to "Off" and "On" alternately.
- 10 Pattern: the state is set to "On" and "Off" alternately.
2. Fix Time
Fix time mode is a template for setting the output terminal on time (Max. 99999s) and off time (Max. 99999s). Users set the output on delay time (the duration when the output status is "On") and the output off delay time (the duration when the output status is "Off"). The default initial state of the group data generated by this template is the output off state.
3. Increase
Generate the on/off delay time by increasing from the time base value at the specified step(△t<99999s). Delay time of next state = delay time of current state + step value;
The default initial state of the group data generated by this template is the output off state.
4. Decline
Generate the on/off delay time by declining from the time base value at the specified step(△t<99999s). The default initial state of the group data generated by this template is the output off state.
