Forms of Keywords
There are two forms for a keyword as described below.
Long-Form
The word is spelled out completely to identify its function. For instance, CURRENT,
VOLTAGE, and MEASURE are long-form keywords.
Short-Form
The word contains only the first three or four letters of the long-form. For instance, CURR,
VOLT, and MEAS are short-form keywords.
In keyword definitions and diagrams, the short-form part of each keyword is emphasized in
UPPER CASE letters to help you remember it. However, the electronic load will accept Volt,
volt, voltage, VOLTAGE, volTAGE, etc. regardless of what form you have applied. However,
if the keyword is incomplete, for example, “VOL” or “curre”, it will not be recognized.
