Programming Examples
4.1 Introduction
This chapter contains examples on how to program your electronic load. Simple examples show you
how to program:
• Input functions such as voltage, current, and resistance
• Measurement functions
• Status and protection functions
• Transient functions, including lists
NOTE: The examples in this chapter show which commands are used to perform a particular function,
but do not show the commands being used in any particular programming environment.
4.2 Programming the Input
Power-on Initialization
When the electronic load is first turned on, it wakes up with the input state set OFF. The following
commands are given implicitly at power-on:
• *RST or *RCL 0
• *CLS
• *SRE 0
• *ESE 0
*RST is a convenient way to program all parameters to a known state. Refer to the *RST command in
Section 3.2 Common Commands to see how each programmable parameter is set by *RST. Refer to
the *PSC command in Section 3.2 Common Commands for more information on the power-on
initialization of the *ESE and the *SRE registers.
