HP E1418A - Manual (Page 32)

Configuring the Terminal Module
The screw-type terminal module contains jumpers that control how the
HP E1418A operates. The jumpers are shipped in a separate bag with the
terminal module. The HP E1418A will operate without any jumpers
installed. You can, however, store the jumpers on the terminal module for
later reconfiguration. Figure 1-13 shows the jumper locations and example
settings.
There are two jumpers for each channel; a P/J jumper and a V/I jumper.
The two jumpers work together.
P/J Jumper
The P/J jumper sets the channel output mode to be either Program
Selectable or Jumper Selectable. When the jumper is in the program
selectable position, the channel output mode can be set via programming
commands. In the jumper selectable position, the channel output mode is
set via the V/I jumper.
V/I Jumper
The V/I jumper sets the channel output mode to either voltage or current
when the P/J jumper is set to the Jumper Selectable position. When the P/J
jumper is set to Program Selectable, this jumper has no effect.
Notes With no jumpers installed, the module will be in the Program Selectable
output mode.
When the P/J Jumper is set to the Jumper Selectable position, the output
mode cannot be changed with SCPI commands. The output mode following
a
*RST common command will be the mode set by the V/I jumper.
