4.5 GPIB/RS-232 COMMAND DESCRIPTION
4.5.1 Setting Commands
CHANNEL
Purpose:
”CHAN” selects the multiple Electronic load channel to which all subsequent channel-
specific commands will be directed.
Command Syntax:
All Modules:
CHAN{SP}n{;NL}
Description:
”CHAN” command selects the specified Electronic load module from 1 through 4 as the
Electronic load module number (from left to right). Up to 4 channels of the Electronic load
module can be installed in one chassis. This command is a channel independent command;
therefore, this command should be programmed before an electronic load channel
dependent
command.
The load channel number is arranged as 1, 2, 3, 4 from left side to the right side. Module
SLD-60-105-550 is a dual bay module that utilizes the channel number corresponding to the
bay occupied by the right side of the module. E.g., if a dual bay module takes up bays 1
and 2, its channel number shall be 2.
Example:
CHAN 2 select channel 2 of SL-series mainframe.
Note:
Please refer to Appendices C, D and E for proper programming procedure of SL-
series electronic load modules.
CURRENT
Level
Purpose:
The load current setting in Constant Current mode.
Command Syntax:
All SLM Modules:
CC:{LOW|HIGH}{SP}{NR2}{;|NL}
SLD Modules: CC{SP}{NR2}{;|NL}
Description:
CC:{LOW|HIGH}{SP}{NR2}{;|NL}
Sets the current level of SLM-series AC or DC Electronic Load modules.
