Do not stack more than three connector blocks together on any GPIB connector. The resultant leverage can exert excessive force on the mounting panels. Make sure that all connectors are fully seated and that the lock screws are firmly hand- tightened. Use a screwdriver only for the removal of the screws.
GPIB Address
The GPIB address of the Electronic Load is factory set to address 5. The GPIB address can only be set using the front panel and ENTRY keys. Chapter 4 explains how to change the GPIB address.
