Short   
 
When short mode is on, the load unit can simulate a 
short circuit.  
Shorting can be individually set for each channel 
when programming sequences.  
To initiate a short circuit manually, the short key is 
used. It can be used at any time during an 
operation. It will not affect the settings. After a 
short circuit has finished, the load unit will resume 
the previous operation.    
The short key can be set to toggle or hold. When 
pressed in toggle mode, shorts are toggled on and 
off. When pressed in hold mode, the key needs to 
be held to short the load.   
Note 
A short circuit may trip a protection mode if too much 
current is sunk. 
CH CONT 
 
Channel Control.  When Channel control is 
activated (External) it can be used to monitor the 
voltage and current output of the load as well as 
turn loads on or off remotely from the Channel 
Control (CH CONT) connectors located on the rear 
panel.   
For more information about channel control, see 
external voltage control on page 85. 
Independent   
 
The Independent setting will allow the load 
modules to be controlled independently from the 
mainframe.
