Conguration Menu 70
8.1 Navigating the Conguration Menu
To eectively navigate the menu and optimize your experience with the instrument, familiarize yourself
with its menu structure and understand how to view or modify settings and parameters. Follow these
steps for seamless navigation:
Step 1. Begin by accessing the Conguration menu by pressing the
+ .
Step 2. Once in the system menu, the selected submenu will start blinking. Utilize the left (←) and right
(→) arrow keys to smoothly navigate through the submenu selections.
Step 3. When the desired submenu section is actively blinking, press the
button to access its
specic submenu settings.
8.2 Protect
The PROTECTION settings are congurable parameters and safeguards designed to prevent damage
to the load itself or the connected power source in the event of excessive current or power levels. These
settings play a critical role in ensuring the safe and reliable operation of the load and the equipment under
test.

Table 8.1 Protection Ranges
8.2.1 MAX-P
Max power limits the power dissipation within the load. By dening a maximum power threshold, the load
will limit the current value it draws despite the program CC, CV, CW, or CR value.
Example For example, if MAX P is congured for 5 W, the CC value is set to 1 A, and the source
provides 6 V, the load will only draw 830 mA to prevent the wattage from exceeding 5 W.
