8.5 VON
VON safeguards an electronic system under test, preventing power application unless the supply voltage
surpasses a specic threshold. It is crucial not to arbitrarily set this value if there is no specic testing
requirement. In cases where the instrument is unable to function normally, such as when setting CC=1
A and the current remains at 0 A after turning on the input, it is advisable to check the VON set initially.
If the VON set is not congured at 0 V, it should be modied accordingly.
8.5.1 LIVING
In Living mode, the DC load requires the applied power to bring the voltage above the VON setting before
drawing current from the source. If the voltage on the load’s terminals falls below the VON setting, the
load will deactivate the input.
8.5.2 LATCH
In Latch mode, similar to the previous behavior, the load activates only when the voltage surpasses the
VON setting. However, once turned on, it will remain active even if the voltage subsequently drops to
zero.
8.6 RESET
Sets all the parameters in the conguration menu back to the factory default values.
