There are eight buttons on the front panel. The following is a description of these buttons:
KEY DESCRIPTION
OUTPUT ON/OFF The OUTPUT ON/OFF button will toggle the output on or off.
The LED above the button will light when the output is on. No
output voltage will be present when the OUTPUT ON/OFF button
is off despite the level of voltage programmed.
SET The SET key selects the top level output setting menu. You can
get to this menu from any other sub menu directly by pressing
the SET key. The SET key also puts the DC supply in the set
mode of operation, which allows a new setting to be entered first
before it takes effect. This allows discrete output changes to be
made. The shuttle knobs are used to change settings.
MEAS The MEAS key selects the Measurement menu. This menu
displays all available measurements.
MENU The MENU key selects the main menu (Level 1). Since there are
more than two entries in the main menu, pressing the MENU key
repeatedly will cycle through all available pairs of entries. From
these entire, lower level menus can be selected by pressing the
ENTER key. Sub menus are used to change secondary settings
such as mode of operation, interface options or advanced
features.
ENTER The ENTER key activates any selection made, either with
regards to the output settings or any other many selection made.
It is used to confirm a setting or selection.
BACK The BACK key may be used to back up to a previous menu level
or to erase a selection already made.
The BACK button acts as a GOTO LOCAL button while the unit
in remote state. This allows the user to regain control of the front
panel. For RS232 use, the SYST:LOC command will enable the
front panel controls. When using the optional IEEE interface, the
remote /local state is controlled by the REN (Remote Enable)
interface line.
The LOCAL button can be disabled by using the SYST:RWLock
command over RS232 or the using Local Lockout message
when using the GPIB bus.
