The LOCK function of the Master operates exactly as described previously and, because the
output voltage of the Slave tracks the Master, it controls the Slave output voltage as well. Note that
only the output voltage of the Slave is 'locked' when the Master LOCK is used; the current controls
of the Slave remain independent.
The LOCK key on the Slave output is ignored and pressing it causes the message
