Programming Examples
Introduction
This chapter contains examples on how to program your electronic load. Simple examples show you how
to program:
Input functions such as voltage, current, and resistance
Transient functions, including lists
Measurement functions
The status and protection functions
These examples in this chapter show which commands are used to perform a particular
NOTE:
function, but do not show the commands being used in any particular programming
environment.
Programming the Input
Power-on Initialization
When the electronic load is first turned on, it wakes up with the input state set OFF. The following
commands are given implicitly at power-on:
*RST
*CLS
*SRE 0
*ESE 0
*RST is a convenient way to program all parameters to a known state. Refer to the *RST command in
chapter 4 to see how each programmable parameter is set by *RST. Refer to the *PSC command in
chapter 4 for more information on the power-on initialization of the *ESE and the *SRE registers.
Enabling the Input
To enable the input, use the command:
INPut ON
Input Voltage
The input voltage is controlled with the VOLTage command. For example, to set the input voltage to 25
volts, use:
VOLTage 25
3
25
