In USB-C and PD modes, the VBus is only enabled after strapping resistors are detected on the CC lines, while SDP, CDP/DCP, PS, and QC modes provide VBus continuously.
In CDP and SDP modes, the port acts as a source if downward facing, and a sink if upward facing.
When Programmable Power Supply (PS) mode is enabled, VBus voltage setpoint and current limit can be set directly, transforming the port into a programmable power supply capable of supplying up to 100 Watts. These are saveable settings (System tab / Save) that persist through reset.
In Power Delivery (PD) mode, the user-set values override the negotiated values. However, PD negotiations are still active and PD events or errors can trigger re-negotiation, which will replace the user-set values. These values should only be changed when the power role is set to sourcing.
In USB-C, SDP, CDP/DCP modes, VBus settings revert to 5 V and default current on port connect or disconnect.

Clicking on the port graph pops up the Port Plots window with a larger rolling strip chart showing all ports. Click the carat ()to expand each port chart. If PD logging is enabled, PD messages will be marked in yellow.
