OMMANDS

These commands control the input of the electronic load. The INPut and OUTput commands are
equivalent. The CURRent, POWer, RESistance and VOLTage commands program the actual input
current, power, resistance, and voltage.

[SOURce:]INPut
[SOURce:]OUTPut

These commands enable or disable the electronic load inputs. The state of a disabled input is a high
impedance condition.

Command Syntax

INPut
OUTPut

Parameters

0 | 1 | OFF | ON

*RST Value

[SOURce:]INPut:PROTection:CLEar
[SOURce:]OUTPut:PROTection:CLEar

These commands clear the latch that disables the input when a protection condition such as
over-current (OC), under-current (UV), over-power (OP), under-power (UP), over-voltage (OV)
under-voltage (UV) or over-temperature (OT) is detected. All conditions that generated the fault must
be removed before the latch can be cleared. The input is then restored to the state it was in before the
fault condition occurred.

Command Syntax

INPut:PROTection:CLEar

OUTPut:PROTection:CLEar

Parameters

None

[SOURce:]INPut:SHORt,
[SOURce:]OUTPut:SHORt, SHORt

This command programs the specified electronic load module to the maximum current that it can sink.

Note: When “SYST:SHOR:STAT” command is set to OFF, “INP:SHOR ON” will cause an
execution error.
