Chapter 4 Local Operation
The local operation of the load has been briefly introduced in Chapter 2. In this chapter, it will be
explained in details with examples.
4.1 Local Control
If it is needed to control the load from the front panel, the load must stay in the local control
status. The load enters into local control status once it is powered on, and preset parameters saved in
EEPROM location 0 will be recalled automatically.
Under remote control status, all operations on front panel keypad and knobs become invalid
(except
key + key). When the load receives a remote command (SYST:REM) via RS232 or
GPIB, the remote control goes into effect and REM annunciator is turned on.
Under remote control status, all operations on electronic load are controlled by remote controller.
The electronic load will return to local control after receiving the return command (SYST:LOCal). Or
you can return the electronic load to local control by pressing
key + key.
