Agilent Technologies 6051A, 6050A Changing Wake-up Settings, Recalling the Factory Default Values

Page 63

Settings stored in registers 1 through 6 will be lost when the Electronic Load’s power is cycled. When power is turned off and then on again, each of these registers (1 through 6) will be set to the "wake-up" values. The "wake-up" values are stored in register 0 and can be set to any values you desire (see Changing Wake-up Settings below).

Changing "Wake-up" Settings

The "wake-up" settings for all channels are stored in register 0. At power-on, the Multiple Electronic Load will "wake-up" with these values set. When a module is shipped from the factory, its "wake-up" values are the same as its factory default values.

You can change the "wake-up" values to whatever values you wish. You do this by setting them into each channel and then saving them in register 0 by pressing

(blue shift key) (shifted Recall key)

When power is turned off and on, the Multiple Electronic Load’s modules will be set to the values you saved - register 0.

The Save 0 operation takes a few seconds to complete. Do not turn power off until the "SAVE 0 " message goes away indicating that the operation is complete. If you turn off power before completion, the non-volatile memory will be corrupted and the Multiple Electronic Load will need to be recalibrated.

Recalling the Factory Default Values

You can recall the factory default values for all modules by pressing:

As soon as the Enter key is pressed, each channel in the Multiple Electronic Load will be set to its factory default values. Note that the Multiple Electronic Load is also set to the factory default values when the *RST common command is sent via the GPIB (see the Programming Reference Guide).

If you also want the factory default settings to be the "wake-up" settings, you can recall them as described above and then press:

(blue shift key) (shifted)

Now, when power is turned off and on, the channels will be set to the factory default settings.
