7. Functions Introduction
   The PC software interface mainly has basic functions, firmware upgrade, Logo upgrade, version update detection and language setting…

1. Basic Functions
   The basic functions of PC software: voltage/current preset, data group quick call out, calibration fine tuning, brightness setting, voltage and current curve exporting. You can rotate the wheel or enter the value to set the voltage and current, the graph above the button shows the real-time voltage and current curve. You can zoom in and out the curve by using the mouse wheel, double click the curve to auto adjusts the axis, you can right click on the curve to clean the curve or export the curve data to picture or excel.

2. Calibration

   • The calibration fine-tuning function needs to be operated by a professional electronic person who has more than Six and a half digit multimeter. It will change the system setting, incorrect operation may exceeds the hardware limit and cause damage, and the resulting damage is not covered in the warranty! The limit error of the product is generally much smaller than the nominal error, when the error is close to or even higher than the nominal error, you need to check if the measuring instrument is accurate.
   • Click “Calibration” and enter the password “168168”, you can enter the Calibration Fine Tuning page or save the adjustment data(if you enter the password, by default you have accepted the above red letter agreement). It can read the calibration data after connection; click the arrow to fine tuning the data. According to the linear function y=kx+b, the constant b is equivalent to the zero value, the slope k is equivalent to the proportional value, adjust this two values so that the data will be close to the real test value.
   • Set the output voltage at 1V, adjust the output voltage zero point to make the multimeter display close to 1V, and then set the output voltage at 30V, adjust the output voltage proportional value to make the multimeter display close to 30V. In the same way you can set 0.1A and 3A output current to calibrate the zero point and proportional value of the output current.
   • Set the output voltage at 1V and calibrate the actual output voltage zero point to make the actual output voltage displayed on RK6006 close to the value on multimeter. You can set 30V and calibrate the proportional value of actual output voltage. In the same way you can set 0.1A and 3A to calibrate the zero point and proportional value of the actual output current. (This section does not provide technical support. If you do not understand, please check the related information).

3. Advanced Function
   You can set the output voltage and current by chart in the advanced function page, you can set every step between 1 and 9999 seconds, you can set 200 steps max, it can output automatically or manually. You cannot choose other operation page when it performs programming output or other operations, you can only switch other page when it ends.

4. Firmware Update
   Press and hold  and power on RK6006, enter the boot mode, then connect it to computer, there will be “boot mode” in the mode information text box, then click “Firmware Update”, a firmware update prompt will pop up on the interface, and click “Now” to upgrade. (You can update the firmware under the normal mode, if it cannot be started up normally, you should press and hold the “ENTER” button and power on, update it under boot mode. It doesn’t support firmware update under Bluetooth connection mode).

5. Boot Logo Update
   Click “Start Logo Update”, a Logo upgrade prompt will pop up on the page, please select a picture. Some logo samples can be used in the installation package.

6. Version Update Detection
   Click “FF”(“Software Update”), the software will automatically detect if there is a new version, if so, an update prompt will pop up on the interface.
