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.
Enabling the Input
To enable the input, use the command:
INPut ON
Input Voltage
The input voltage is controlled with the VOLTage command. For example, to set the input voltage to 25
volts, use:
VOLTage 25
Input Current
