to increase or decrease the GPIB address, then press the “ENTER” key to confirm the value. The number displayed
with the "◄" annunciated behind it is the currently selected GPIB address. Press the “CLEAR” to escape the Primary
ADDR mode. eLoad needs to be restart in order to synchronize the change.
RS-232 FUNCTION
The eLoad provides an RS-232 interface for remote control. To save setup time for the RS-232 interface configuration,
the eLoad has default settings for parity check bit, data length, and stop bit.
Default settings:
Data Length: 8 bits Parity Check bit: No Parity Stop Bit: 1 bit
Handshake: Xon/Xoff BAUD RATE: 2400/4800//9600/19200/38400/57600/115200
The eLoad only provide seven-baud rate settings for RS-232 communication. Press the "Menu/Local" key and use the
encoder to select the System function (press enter), then use the encoder to select the RS-232 function then
press the "ENTER" key twice to select BAUD RATE function. Use the encoder to select between 2400 and 115200
then press the "ENTER key to confirm selection. Press “CLEAR” key to escape the BAUD RATE MODE.
SYNTAX MODE
The Syntax Mode function allows a selection between PEL and PLA/PLW command sets. Please refer to “PEL &
PLW/PLA COMMAND COMPATIBILITY APPENDIX” for further information.
EOS CODE
EOS CODE: NULL only
CR only
LF only
CR + LF
In the GPIB communication, the users can define the different End of Interface (EOS) code for each end of the data or
command.
Press the "Menu/Local" key then use the encoder to select the System function then the "ENTER" key. Turn the
encoder to select the EOS function then use the encoder to scroll and select the desired EOS code method. Press
the “ENTER” key to confirm the selection. Press “CLEAR” key to escape the EOS CODE.
BUZZER
Toggles the system sounds on and off.
PANEL LOCK
This function allows the user to lock the front panel with a 6 digit numerical password. The factory default password is:
555555.
ETHERNET FUNCTION
The eLoad provides an Ethernet programming interface. All SCPI commands are also available through Ethernet
interface. Obtaining Network Information to connect the eLoad to the network, you only need a network cable with RJ-45
connector. No transceiver is necessary. However, you need to obtain the following information from the eLoad and your
network administrator:
1. eLoad Ethernet MAC Address:
It’s a twelve digits string that unequally identifies the eLoad unit. It can be obtained from the control board.
2. Network information:
1) DHCP server enabled? Yes or no.
