I-set If you press this key after powering up and there is no currently-
stored constant current value, you'll be prompted for the desired
current level. If there was a current value already stored, it will be
momentarily displayed and the instrument will be in CC mode. If
you wish to change the current setting, press I-set again. The OFF

To operate the DC Load in CC mode in a transient condition, see the Transient operation section.
To operate the DC Load in CC mode in a dynamic condition, see the Lists section.
Constant voltage mode
In constant voltage mode, the DC load will cause a constant voltage to appear at its terminals. To
set up the DC Load to operate in constant voltage mode and in the steady state condition, use the
following keystrokes:

V-set If you press this key after powering up and there is no currently-
stored constant voltage value, you'll be prompted for the desired
voltage level. If there was a voltage value already stored, it will be
momentarily displayed and the instrument will be in CV mode. If
you wish to change the voltage setting, press V-set again. The
OFF annunciator will be displayed.
On/Off Turns the constant voltage load on. The CV annunciator will be
on.

Constant power mode
In constant power mode, the DC load will cause a constant power to be dissipated in the load. To
set up the DC Load to operate in constant power mode and in the steady state condition, use the
following keystrokes:
