Local Operation
In order to use the front panel keys to control the electronic load, local operation must be in
effect. Immediately after the power is applied, local operation will be in effect. When local
operation is in effect, you can use the display with keypad on the front panel to control the
Load. The display can be used to view the massage, including programmed setting,
measurement data, and system indication.
When you edit setting, the display will blink to let you know which setting is to
be edited or has been selected.
In the remote state, the keys on the front panel have no effect. Only remote controller can
program the Load. The Load LCD display will show REMOTE message.
When setting the load level, the resolution of current, voltage, power,
resistance and slew rate will be different from the entered values. The
displayed value will remain as the one entered. But the output will be the
actual value D/A programmed in the load. These parameters except
resistance will be degraded to low values when entered.
