A 6306A DC power supply
A power supply is an electrical device supplying power to a load. Its main purpose is to convert current from a source to the correct voltage, current, and frequency to power the load, so they're also called electric power converters.

Power conversion method:
The "630" of 6306A DC power supply stands for 6000 (6 with '3' zeros) and "6A" means 6 ampere for its max current.
[2], [5] The 6000 Series or 6306A series is a dual-channel-output DC power supply.
Its features are:
Twin power output with tracking function for automatic selection of parallel or serial connection
Short-circuit protection against external input while providing constant voltage and constant current
Allows serial or parallel connection with the same power supply model
5V/5A constant-voltage output
Its 4 screens (2 for voltage and 2 for current) are for real-time monitoring and control of many simultaneous parameters
Most high-end lab power supplies use multiple digital displays to show critical parameters without needing to switch modes.
The 4 screens are often:
Set voltage (V-SET): the target output voltage
Actual voltage (V-OUT): the real-time measured voltage
Set current (I-SET): the configured current limit
Actual current (I-OUT): the real-time measured current
[4] "Slave" and "Master" refers to a control relationship between many units:
Master: main unit controlling 1+ secondary units.
Slave: The secondary unit(s) following commands of the "master".
A 6306A Series has a "Slave" (left) knob that does nothing and a Master (right) knob controlling both voltage analog.
