Chapter3 Panel function introduction 
This chapter mainly introduces the functions and operations of front panel keys. 
It  mainly  describes  the  main  frame’s  front  panel  keyboard  operation,  single 
/dual channel module keyboard operation and VFD display. 
3.1 Mainframe operation 
The front  panel  keys are effective only in the  local mode. When the load is 
powered  on,  it  works  in  local  mode  automatically,  and  then  you  can  select 
channel number and set parameters such as voltage, current via the front panel 
keys. When the load is repowered on, the mainframe will scan all the installed 
modules once again, and can recall the parameters of the last power off. 
3.1.1 Mainframe keyboard functions introduction 
The  keyboards  of  IT8702/IT8701P/IT8702P  are  the  same.  Take  example  of 
IT8702P, the keyboard introduction is as follows.

the  load,  and  display  every  channel’s  number,  voltage  and  current 
measurements. The operation of setting and editing parameters of each 
channel referred below are on the mainframe front panel.   
3.  Function  keys: The  following  are  the  detailed  description  about  the 
functions and specific operations achievable of all the keys.
