 This means that the power depends on both voltage and current. But since current depends on the resistance of the connected unit it's impossible to force to generate a certain power. The only thing that can be done is to **limit** the power supply to generate a certain power. This means that the power depends on both voltage and current.

-When **RUN** is pressed, the internal generator will start building up the high voltage at the output terminals while voltage and current are constantly measured and power is calculated. When one of the pre-set parameters is exceeded, the generator will stop rising and starts to adjust the Voltage to keep that parameter constant.+When **RUN** is pressed, the internal generator will start building up the high voltage at the output terminals while voltage and current are constantly measured and power is calculated.
