Setting the Mode of Operation

The present (active) mode of operation is indicated by the appropriate annunciator being on (e.g. CC). The active mode can

also be viewed on the display by pressing .

For example, "MODE CURR" indicates that the CC mode is active. You can change the mode to CR or CV by pressing the

applicable key. To change the mode of operation from CC to CR, first press which changes the display to "MODE

RES". Now, to activate the CR mode, press . As soon as the Enter key is pressed, the CR annunciator goes on, the resistance settings affect the input (provided that the input is turned on), and the display returns to the metering mode.

Note

The Range, Tran Level, and Slew (shifted Tran Level) keys are common to the CC, CR, and CV

 

functions. These keys become associated with a particular function when you press the applicable function

 

key (CURR, RES, or VOLT). If you do not select a function, they are associated with the function that is

 

presently active.

 

 

Setting CC Values

The CC values are programmed by pressing the applicable FUNCTION keys and setting the desired values using the ENTRY keys. The display identifies the selected function; for example, C: SLW identifies current slew rate.

Ranges

The CC values can be programmed in either a low range or a high range. The valid CC values that can be programmed are listed in Table 4-2 along with the applicable front panel key and display identifier. Note that all current levels are programmed in amps and current slew rates are programmed in amps/microsecond.

Notes:

 

 

 

 

1.There are 12 discrete steps within a CC slew range (low or high). The 12 slew rate steps for each range are listed in Table 1-1. Any slew rate can be programmed (there are no upper and lower limits that would cause an error) . The Electronic Load automatically selects one of the 12 slew rates that is closest to the programmed value. See Chapter 2 Operation Overview in this manual.

2.The transient current level is meaningful only if transient operation is turned on. The transient current level must be set to a higher level than the main current level. See Transient Operation later in this Chapter.
