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.
