-Next to the +/- 25V power supplies you will notice a checkbox stating *+/- 25V Tracking*.  If you select this checkbox, the supplies will track each other. So if you set the +25V supply to a +21V, the -25V supply will "track" to the inverse, so in this case -21V.+Underneath the Master Enable box there will be an option to enable tracking.  If you select this checkbox, the inversely matching supplies will track each other. For example, if you set a +25 V supply to +21 V, the -25 V supply will "track" to the inverse, so in this case -21 V. Similarly, the current limitation will be tracked as well.

-Each of the three power supplies have a drop down menu associated with voltage.  By changing the voltage selected, you change the voltage output when **Master Enable** is on.  +Each of the three power supplies have a drop down menu associated with both voltage and current.  By changing the value, you change the maximum amount the parameter can reach when **Master Enable** is on.

-The gear dropdown for each supply contains the limit settings for that supply. For instance, if you set the maximum voltage of the +6V supply to 4V, it will be impossible to adjust the power supply above 4V.   +The gear dropdown for each supply contains the limit settings for that supply. For instance, if you set the maximum voltage of the a supply to less than it's maximum value, it will be impossible to adjust the power supply beyond that limitation.
