Introduction
Chapter 2 Operation Overview introduced you to the Multiple Electronic Load’s features and capabilities and briefly
described how to control a module locally from the front panel and remotely with a computer via the GPIB. This
chapter describes in greater detail how to operate the Multiple Electronic Load from the front panel. The following
discussions are provided:

Using the CHAN Keys
•
Using the FUNCTION Keys
•
Using the SYSTEM Keys
The Multiple Electronic Load can be programmed locally using the controls and indicators on the front panel. As shown in
Figure 4-1, the front panel’s controls and indicators include a 12-segment LCD display and a keypad having four groups of
keys (SYSTEM, CHAN, FUNCTION, and ENTRY). Table 4-1 gives a brief description of each control and indicator.
