Store and Recall Facilities
The instrument is able to store and recall up to 30 user defined sets of load parameters in
non-volatile memory. Each memory location holds all the parameter settings – load Mode, active
level, Level A value, Level B value, Dropout Voltage level, transient Frequency, Duty and Slew
Rate, the state of Slow start and the state of the 600 Watt option.
Both the store and recall menus display a preview of the parameters that are already stored
within each memory location. If a memory location is empty then (
---
) is displayed. A memory
location can be selected either by using the
▲ or ▼ soft-keys or the knob to step through the
locations in sequence, or by entering the location number directly using the numeric keypad (with
a leading zero if required). The currently selected memory location number (and user-specified
name) is highlighted on the display, and the location number is also displayed above the table of
previewed parameters (this copy of the location number also updates during numeric entry).
Note: the store and recall menus look almost identical, see the menu name in the top left corner
to distinguish between the two.
Store Menu
To access the Store menu, press the
Store
soft-key on the home screen. There are three
available options that can be applied to each memory location – store the present settings to the
memory location, delete the contents of the memory location and rename the memory location.
To store the present load configuration and settings to a memory location, select the desired
location and then press either the
Confirm
soft-key (if the location is presently empty) or the
Replace
soft-key to overwrite the existing contents. Once stored, the parameters will be shown in
the preview table. If the location was empty prior to the store operation, then the location will
initially be given a default name of
Store_nn
, where
nn
is the location number.
To rename a memory location, press the
Rename
soft-key which opens the character entry
screen. Select a character using the knob, or alternatively the digits 0 to 9 and the decimal point
can be entered using the numeric keys. To enter the selected character, press the
Enter
soft-key.
To delete the previously entered character press either the
CE
soft-key or the CE hard-key.
Use the ◄ and ► soft-keys to select the character position. The maximum number of characters
in a memory location name is limited to 10. Upon completion of the character string entry, press
the
Confirm
soft-key to accept the changes and return to the store menu where the memory
location name will automatically be updated. Alternatively press the
Cancel
soft-key to reject any
changes and leave the memory location name unchanged.
To delete the contents of a memory location, select the desired location and press the
Delete
soft-key.
Delete
will then be shown in the top left corner of the display and the soft-keys will list
the options of either
Cancel
(cancel the deletion) or
Confirm
(confirm that the location contents
are to be deleted). The contents of the memory location are not erased until the
Confirm
soft-key
is pressed. Pressing the
Cancel
soft-key will return to the store menu without deleting the
contents of the memory location. As soon as the deletion is confirmed the load parameters and
location name will be replaced with (
---
).
Recall Menu
To access the Recall menu, press the
Recall
soft-key on the home screen. To recall the load
parameters from a memory location, select the desired memory location using the
▲ or ▼ soft-
keys or the knob, and then press the
Confirm
soft-key. The instrument will then return directly to
the home screen with all the recalled load parameters updated, but the load input will be disabled
to avoid unexpected results. Alternatively press the
Back
soft-key or
Home
key to return to the
home screen without recalling the stored load parameters.
If it is required to recall a set-up which was stored when 600 Watt mode was active, then the unit
must be set into the 600 Watt mode from the
Limits
menu (including acknowledging the warning
message) before entering the
Recall
menu.
