High Power Electronic Load 63200A Series Operation & Programming Manual
Short-Form
The word contains only the first three or four letters of the long-form. For instance, CURR,
VOLT, and MEAS are short-form keywords.
In keyword definitions and diagrams, the short-form part of each keyword is emphasized in
UPPER CASE letters to help you remember it. However, the electronic load will accept Volt,
volt, voltage, VOLTAGE, volTAGE, etc. regardless of what form you have applied. However,
if the keyword is incomplete, for example, "VOL" or "curre", it will not be recognized.

Numerical Data Formats

Chroma 63200A Electronic Load accepts the numerical data type listed in Table 4-1.
Numeric data may be followed by a suffix to specify the dimension of the data. A suffix may
be preceded by a multiplier. Chroma 63200A makes use of the suffixes listed in Table 4-2
and multipliers listed in Table 4-3.
Symbol
NR1 Digits without decimal point. The decimal point is
assumed to be at the right of the least-significant digit.
NR2 Digits with a decimal point.
NR3 Digit with a decimal point and an exponent.
NRf Flexible decimal form that includes NR1 or NR2 or NR3. 123, 12.3, 1.23E+3
NRf+ Expanded decimal form that includes NRf and MIN,
MAX. MIN and MAX are the minimum and maximum limit
values for the parameter.
