Boot Input; Load Profile Menu; Display Menu; C Operand For Battery Testing - Ametek Amrel PLA Series Operation Manual

BOOT INPUT

Boot Input allows the input to be automatically turned on once the unit is powered on. By default, Boot Input is
deactivated.

LOAD PROFILE MENU

The profile menu allows 4 different profiles (0~3) to save all current load configurations. As a factory default, profile 0
& 3 are our factory default profile and profile 1 is our syntax profile.

DISPLAY MENU

Display Mode: V + I (Voltage + Current)
V + P (Voltage + Power)
I + C (Current + "C" operand)
P + C (Power +"C" operand)
R + P (Resistance + Power)
V + T (Voltage + Temperature)
R + T (Resistance + Temperature)
C + T ("C" operand + Temperature)
The LCD display module of the eLoad can be configured to the different measuring combinations.
Press the "Menu/Local" key. Turn the encoder  to select the Display, and then press the "ENTER" key and turn the
encoder  to select the desired function. Press the "ENTER" key to confirm the selection. Press "CLEAR" key to
escape the Display Mode.

C OPERAND FOR BATTERY TESTING

"C" Value:
1.0000A
The eLoad provides the "C" operand. This is especially useful for battery testing applications that use "C" as the battery
capacity unit. The user can avoid troublesome calculations by monitoring and testing the battery directly. After the user
changes the display combination to V + C, all current values entered and/or measured will be in "C" automatically. The
Current value will be scaled according to its value in C units, for example if a "C" value of 10 A is entered, a main value
setting of 20 A will be represented as 2 C.
Press the "Menu/Local" key, select display mode and then press ENTER. Turn the encoder  to select the "C" value.
Press the "ENTER" key, input the desired value, and then press "ENTER". Then Press "CLEAR" to exit the "C" operand
mode.

SYSTEM FUNCTIONS MENU

To enter a value for a particular function, please follow the correct key sequence indicated under the System Menu above.
Press the "Menu/Local" to enter the main menu tree then turn the encoder  keys to select the System Menu. Then
press the "ENTER" and turn the encoder  to further select the next level of commands. Press the Enter key to
confirm the selection.
You can press the "Clear" key repeatedly or the "Local" key at any time to exit the function or mode level.

GPIB FUNCTION

The eLoad provides the GPIB/SCPI interface control capability. The following are user configurable GPIB options:
PRIMARY ADDR:
Primary address for GPIB interface has a range from 0 to 31.
Press the "Menu/Local" key then turn the encoder  to select the System function, and select GPIB Address then press
the "ENTER" key. Turn the encoder  to select the PRIMAR Y ADDR function by pressin g enter, turn the encoder
