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.

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
