Channel

Scrolling keys let you move through the commands in the presently selected function menu. Press ▼ to bring up the next command in the list. Press ▲ to go back to the previous command in the list. Function menus are circular; you can return to the starting position by continuously pressing either key

These keys let you scroll through points in a list function. When the display indicates EOL, the end of the list has been reached.

Press this key to scroll through all channels in the mainframe

Metering Keys

Metering keys control the metering functions of the electronic load. As set from the factory, all front panel measurements are calculated from a total of 1000 readings taken at a 10 microsecond sampling rate. Therefore, the factory default acquisition time for a single front panel measurement is about 10 milliseconds. Refer to “Making Front Panel Measurements” for more information about changing the front panel sampling rate and the number of measurement points.

Meter

Takes the front panel back to the Metering mode from any other mode.

Also accesses the meter menu. This menu lets you measure various parameters of the selected input.

Display	Measurement
<chan> <voltage> <current>	Displays the voltage and current of the selected channel
<chan> <value> V MAX	Displays the maximum voltage
<chan> <value> V MIN	Displays the minimum voltage
<chan> <value> V RMS	Displays the rms voltage
<chan> <value> A MAX	Displays the maximum current
<chan> <value> A MIN	Displays the minimum current
<chan> <value> A RMS	Displays the rms voltage
<chan> <value> WATTS	Displays the input power
<chan> <value> W MAX	Displays the maximum power
<chan> <value> W MIN	Displays the minimum power

Shift	Sense	Specifies the measurement functions and ranges.
		Display	Command Function
		S:PNT	Defines the number of data points in the measurement
		S:TIN	Sets the digitizer sample spacing
		S:WIN	Sets the measurement window function
		S:OFF	Defines the data offset in the measurement
		S:C:RNG	Selects the current measurement range
		S:V:RNG	Selects the voltage measurement range
