Remote Control Programming
4.1
Overview
If your unit is fitted with a computer interface option then a GPIB, RS232, USB or LAN
connector will be present on the rear panel based on the order configuration. The interface
allows the load settings to be configured remotely and measurement data to be retrieved for
analysis and test report generation.
There are two sets of programming commands for the 44M04. One is referred to as the
SHORT FORM commands and the other set as the LONG FORM commands.
For Example
To enable the load on channel 2, the GPIB programming command syntax is
：
“CHAN 2;LOAD ON”
To turn channel 2 load off, send command “LOAD OFF”. Channel 2 is still selected so there
is no need to send “CHAN 2” again.
To programming multiple load modules in the same mainframe, it is possible to use the
global addressing using the [GLOB:] option. This sets all modules to the programmed
settings simultaneously. This feature can be extremely useful in reducing program overhead
and improve throughput.
NOTE:
When either the USB or LAN interface options is used to control the 44M04, it is
important to send the "REMOTE" command to make sure the 44M04 is in REMOTE state.
