SYSTEM FUNCTIONS MENU
To enter a value for a particular function, please follow the correct key sequence indicated under the System Menu above.
Press the "Menu/Local" to enter the main menu tree then turn the encoder
43 keys to select the System Menu. Then
press the “ENTER” and turn the encoder 43 to further select the next level of commands. Press the Enter key to
confirm the selection.
You can press the "Clear” key repeatedly or the “Local” key at any time to exit the function or mode level.
GPIB FUNCTION
The eLOAD provides the GPIB/SCPI interface control capability. The following are user configurable GPIB options:
PRIMARY ADDR: 0 o 31
Primary address for GPIB interface has a range from 0 to 31.
Press the "Menu/Local" key then turn the encoder 43 to select the System function, and select GPIB Address then press
the "ENTER" key. Turn the encoder 43 to select the PRIMARY ADDR function by pressing enter, turn the encoder
43 to increase or decrease the GPIB address, then press the “ENTER” key to confirm the value. The number displayed
with the "
Ż " annunciated behind it is the currently selected GPIB address. Press the “CLEAR” to escape the Primary
ADDR mode. eLOAD needs to be restart in order to synchronize the change.
RS-232 FUNCTION
The eLOAD provides an RS-232 interface for remote control and utilizes a 1-to-1 (direct connect) RS-232 cable. To save
setup time, the eLOAD has preconfigured default RS-232 settings for parity check bit, data length, and stop bit.
Default settings:
Data Length: 8 bits Parity Check bit: No Parity Stop Bit: 1 bit
Handshake: Xon/Xoff
BAUD RATE: 2400/4800//9600/19200/38400/57600/115200
The eLOAD only provide seven-baud rate settings for RS-232 communication. Press the "Menu/Local" key and use the
encoder
43 to select the System function (press enter), then use the encoder 43 to select the RS-232 function then
press the "ENTER" key twice to select BAUD RATE function. Use the encoder 43 to select between 2400 and 115200
then press the "ENTER key to confirm selection. Press “CLEAR” key to escape the BAUD RATE MODE.
SYNTAX MODE
The Syntax Mode function allows a selection between PEL and PLA/PLW command sets. Please refer to “PEL &
PLW/PLA COMMAND COMPATIBILITY APPENDIX” for further information.
EOS CODE
EOS CODE: NULL only
CR only
LF only
CR + LF
During remote operation, the users can define the different End of String (EOS) for the usage of different protocols.
When using AMREL Application Programs/Drivers, the EOS setting should be configured as shown below:
For non-query commands: OK + LF + CR;
For queries: OK + LF + CR + returned value + LF + CR + OK + LF + CR.
Press the "Menu/Local" key then use the encoder 43 to select the System function then the "ENTER" key. Turn the
encoder 43 to select the EOS function then use the encoder 43 to scroll and select the desired EOS code method. Press
the “ENTER” key to confirm the selection. Press “CLEAR” key to exit the EOS CODE menu option.
BUZZER
Toggles the system sounds on and off.
PANEL LOCK
This function allows the user to lock the front panel with a 6 digit numerical password. The factory default password is:
555555.
