Local Operation

Introduction

Chapter 2 Operation Overview introduced you to the Multiple Electronic Load’s features and capabilities and briefly described how to control a module locally from the front panel and remotely with a computer via the GPIB. This chapter describes in greater detail how to operate the Multiple Electronic Load from the front panel. The following discussions are provided:

∙Front Panel Controls and Indicators

∙Local Control Overview

∙Using the CHAN Keys

∙Using the FUNCTION Keys

∙Using the SYSTEM Keys

The Multiple Electronic Load can be programmed locally using the controls and indicators on the front panel. As shown in Figure 4-1, the front panel’s controls and indicators include a 12-segment LCD display and a keypad having four groups of keys (SYSTEM, CHAN, FUNCTION, and ENTRY). Table 4-1 gives a brief description of each control and indicator.

Description

Turns the ac power on and off.

Normally displays the selected input channel number and the actual voltage and current at that input, for example, "l 10.09 0.99" as shown in Figure 4-1. When programmed from the front panel, the channel number and the function being programmed are displayed. For example, "l CURR 1.000" indicates that the channel 1 CURR function is set to 1.00 amperes.
