4 LOCAL OPERATION
4.1 Introduction
This chapter describes how to operate the electronic load from the local panel in details.
The descriptions include: Mainframe panel control, Module panel control and indicators.
4.2 Local Operation of Load Mainframe
In order to use the front panel keys to control the electronic load, local operation must
be in effect. Immediately after power is applied, local operation will be in effect.
When local operation is in effect, you can select a channel, and use the display as well
as keypad on the front panel to control the Load. The display of Mainframe can be
used to view the programmed setting of a selected channel. The input voltage/current
is displayed on module’s display. The mainframe will scan module type at power-on,
and memorize it for channel setting.
NOTE:
When you edit setting, the display will blink setting, and let you know that the
active setting is to be edited or selected.
In the remote state, the keys on the front panel will have no effect. Only the remote
controller can program the Load. The display of module will show the present input
voltage and current readings or the last display while the local state is in effect. The
display of the Mainframe will show REMOTE message.
NOTE
: When
setting the load module level, the resolution of current, voltage,
resistance, and slew rate setting will be different from the entered values. The
displayed or stored value of the setting will be the actual value of D/A programmed in
the load module. The current, voltage, and slew rate setting will be degraded as lower
values are entered. The resistance setting will be degraded as higher values are
entered.
